520 _a"Given in Marriage" by B. M. Croker is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of young Captain Derek Mayne, who, after receiving an invitation from a friend’s relative, finds himself entangled in the lives of coffee planters in Southern India. As he interacts with the inhabitants of Fairplains, including the charming Nancy Travers, the narrative promises both adventure and the complexities of relationships in a colonial setting. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Mayne as he navigates his way to Fairplains, which opens up a world filled with various characters such as the down-to-earth planter Ted Dawson and the meticulous Nicholas Byng. The striking landscape of the coffee estate sets the stage for the evolving dynamics between Mayne and the Travers family. The chapter establishes an inviting atmosphere filled with camaraderie and hints at underlying romantic tensions, particularly focusing on the interactions between Mayne and Nancy. As Mayne settles in, he is drawn into the unfolding drama that combines elements of adventure, romance, and the challenges of plantation life, setting up a compelling narrative for readers.
