| Summary | "Carette of Sark" by John Oxenham is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the small, picturesque island of Sark, the story revolves around the lives of its inhabitants, particularly focusing on the challenges faced by the main character, Rachel Carré, and her troubled marriage to Paul Martel. The narrative explores themes of love, resilience, and community within the context of an island steeped in rich history and tradition. The beginning of "Carette of Sark" introduces us to the narrator, who reflects on his childhood on the island and the complex dynamics of his family life. We learn about his mother, Rachel Carré, and her difficult relationship with Martel, a volatile figure who has brought turmoil to their lives. As events unfold, Martel faces punishment from the local community for his abusive behavior, leading to his banishment from the island. The opening chapters set the stage for the intertwined stories of love, conflict, and identity among the islanders, hinting at the deep connections and struggles that will define their lives moving forward.
