Summary "Kate Danton; or Captain Danton's Daughters: A Novel" by May Agnes Fleming is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the lives of the Danton family, particularly focusing on Captain Danton's daughters, especially the eldest, Kate, as they navigate changes in their lives after returning home to Canada. Themes of family dynamics, societal expectations, and the struggle for identity emerge, as the characters confront new relationships and challenges. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to Grace Danton, who reflects on the impending arrival of her estranged relatives, Captain Danton and his eldest daughter, Kate, after their long absence from Canada. Grace feels a mix of apprehension and curiosity about these newcomers and the lifestyle changes they will bring to Danton Hall. Through her interactions with her brother, Doctor Frank, and the younger sister Eeny, we learn about the household's routine and their anticipation of the visitors. The atmosphere of the upcoming family reunion is tinged with subtle tensions as Grace contemplates her new role amid the arrivals and manages the responsibilities of the household, setting the stage for the unfolding family drama.
