| Summary | "Miss Cheyne of Essilmont, Volume 2" by James Grant is a novel written in the late 19th century. This installment follows the tumultuous life of Alison Cheyne as she grapples with her feelings for Bevil Goring amid societal pressures and familial expectations. The narrative delves into themes of love, longing, and heartache against a backdrop of aristocratic life, with captivating characters whose fates are intertwined. The opening of the novel introduces us to Alison aboard the yacht "Firefly", where she is ensnared in her thoughts of Bevil Goring, revealing her deep emotional turmoil and the constraints imposed by her father's ambitions. Tom Llanyard, a kind-hearted sailor, serves as her confidant, providing a sense of comfort in her distress. As they sail along the French coast, sinister foreshadowing lurks, culminating in a disastrous night when the yacht collides with another vessel, setting the stage for escalating tensions and pivotal moments in the story. This initial chapter effectively captures the essence of Alison's internal struggle, as well as her complex relationships, hinting at the challenges she will face as the narrative unfolds.
