| Summary |
"The Lost Treasure of Trevlyn: A Story of the Days of the Gunpowder Plot" by Evelyn Everett-Green is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Cuthbert Trevlyn, a young man caught in a turbulent familial conflict against the backdrop of the Gunpowder Plot era. With themes of rebellion against paternal authority and the search for lost family treasure, the narrative promises an exploration of personal destiny intertwined with historical events. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to a tense and violent encounter between Cuthbert and his domineering father, Nicholas Trevlyn, who is a staunch Roman Catholic and vehemently opposes the Protestant faith. This clash ignites a chain of events that forces Cuthbert to flee from his father's tyrannical grip and seek a new life. The opening sets the stage for Cuthbert's quest for the lost treasure of his family and hints at the broader historical implications of their circumstance, including familial ties, religious conflicts, and aspirations for redemption and wealth. The presence of his supporting sister, Petronella, and their cousins adds depth to the character dynamics and sets a foundation for Cuthbert's journey, intertwining the quest for treasure with familial loyalty and self-discovery.
