| 520 | _a"Joan, the Curate" by Florence Warden is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set shortly after the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, it follows the story of Joan Langney, the daughter of a country parson, as she navigates tumultuous circumstances involving smugglers and a revenue cutter near the marshes of Kent and Sussex. The narrative likely explores themes of duty, morality, and the complexities of loyalty amidst lawlessness. The opening of the book introduces us to the backdrop of a coastal region plagued by smuggling, establishing a sense of urgency with the arrival of a sailor at the parsonage seeking help for a wounded mate. Parson Langney and Joan respond heroically, with Joan demonstrating her courage and competence as she prepares to accompany her father. As they head for the sea, the tension escalates with hints of previous violence between smugglers and the authorities, foreshadowing the conflicts that will unfold as they become embroiled in the ongoing struggle against crime in their community. The detailed characterizations and dynamics, particularly between Joan and the young lieutenant Tregenna, set the stage for a complex narrative filled with personal and moral dilemmas.
