| Summary | "Miss Fairfax of Virginia: A Romance of Love and Adventure Under the Palmettos" by St. George Rathborne is a romantic novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Roderic Owen, an American diplomatic agent embroiled in the complexities of international politics during the Hispano-American War while also navigating personal relationships. The narrative begins with Owen arriving in Dublin and encountering a mysterious woman, which sets the stage for themes of love, intrigue, and hidden identities. The opening of the novel introduces Roderic Owen, who is in Dublin on a mission connected to the war. He anxiously awaits a meeting with a woman who warns him of an impending danger orchestrated by a jealous rival named Jerome Wellington. This woman, disguised as a nun, reveals to Owen that Wellington aims to ruin him, particularly because of his connection to Cleo Fairfax, Roderic’s wealthy cousin who harbors her own feelings for him. As the plot unfolds, the dynamics between Roderic, Cleo, and the enigmatic woman deepen, introducing elements of deception and romance that promise adventure and emotional turmoil.
