Summary "Eustace Marchmont: A Friend of the People" by Evelyn Everett-Green is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes of love, social justice, and the struggles of the common people in the context of a feudal-like society. The story follows the titular character, Eustace Marchmont, as he navigates the complexities of his relationships and the social upheaval of his time, particularly with his connections to the aristocracy and the lives of the working class. The opening of the novel sets the scene on Christmas Eve in the West Country, where a traditional ceremony of "christening the apple-trees" by Farmer Teazel takes place. Among the gathering are two key figures, Saul Tresithny, a farm laborer, and Genefer, the farmer’s daughter, who share a moment of budding romance amidst the festive atmosphere. The text introduces Abner Tresithny, Saul's grandfather, characterized by his thoughtfulness and humble nature, hinting at his significance as a moral compass in the community. The narrative hints at greater social issues and discontent brewing among the laborers, setting a stage ripe with potential for conflict and change in their lives, as Eustace's arrival later in the story suggests a wider interplay between personal desires and societal pressure.
