Summary "Hurricane Hurry" by W.H.G. Kingston is an historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative primarily unfolds during the year 1780, focusing on the tumultuous backdrop of the American War of Independence. The protagonist, Hurricane Hurry, finds himself embroiled in the naval conflicts between the British Royalists and the American rebels, all while grappling with themes of duty, loyalty, and love as he navigates his burgeoning romance with a young American lady. The opening of the novel introduces us to Hurricane Hurry’s origin, detailing his upbringing in the coastal town of Falmouth. As a young boy, he is educated in the ways of the sea and dreams of adventure, eventually joining the King's Navy. The narrative hints at his sympathies towards the American rebels, even as he acknowledges his obligations as a royal officer. Early encounters with friends, such as the earnest Tommy Rockets, and glimpses of complex naval battles set the stage for a grand adventure filled with peril, romance, and the moral dilemmas of war. This engaging and lively account promises readers an immersive dive into maritime history through the eyes of a relatable and evolving character. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
