520 _a"A Tale of Red Pekin" by Constancia Serjeant is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds through the eyes of Cecilia, a young girl thrust into the tumultuous events surrounding the Boxer Rebellion in China. Focusing on themes of faith, family, and the harsh realities of cultural conflict, the narrative explores the challenges faced by missionaries and their families amidst violence and persecution. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Cecilia and her family, who have been living in China for four years due to her father’s work as a missionary doctor. Cecilia details her family dynamics and her strong bond with her bosom friend, Nina, as they navigate their dangerous surroundings. As tensions escalate, the family faces the threat posed by the Boxer Rebellion, leaving them in a precarious situation filled with sorrow, hope, and the fervent search for faith amid chaos. Throughout this opening, the stage is set for an intense exploration of courage and conviction as the St. John family grapples with the harsh realities of their missionary life.
