Summary "Katerfelto: A Story of Exmoor" by G. J. Whyte-Melville is a novel written in the late 19th century that combines elements of historical narrative with romance and adventure. The story begins against a richly detailed backdrop of 18th-century England, focusing on characters embroiled in themes of dueling, honor, and societal unrest, particularly through the experiences of young John Garnet, who finds himself entangled in a fateful altercation. The opening of the novel introduces a tense atmosphere as John Garnet leaves a tavern after an altercation that spirals into a deadly duel. The narrative first captures the public mood surrounding the controversial figure John Wilkes and then shifts to Garnet, who, wounded and disoriented, finds refuge in the house of a mysterious doctor, Katerfelto. The setting moves from the chaos of a London tavern to the quiet seclusion of Deadman's Alley, where he meets Waif, a captivating and enigmatic gipsy girl who becomes his nurse. The dynamics of their relationship begin to unfold, hinting at deeper themes of identity, belonging, and the complexities of love and loyalty amidst the turbulent backdrop of the time.
