Summary "Kitty Alone: A Story of Three Fires" by S. Baring-Gould is a novel written in the late 19th century. This story is set against the backdrop of rural England and revolves around the life of Kitty, who navigates her relationships and aspirations amid familial struggles, economic turmoil, and social expectations. The narrative seems to explore themes of personal growth, love, and societal pressures, particularly through the character of Kitty and her interactions with key figures such as her father, her uncle Pasco, and other community members. The opening of the book presents a scene in Ashburton during a market fair, where tensions of commerce and character interactions unfold. Key characters, including Pasco Pepperill, are introduced as they deal with the ramifications of economic challenges related to wool purchasing and timber investment. Pepperill's frustrated conversations with others hint at his precarious financial situation, while the subplot of Roger Redmore, an incendiary with a tragic past, begins to weave into Kitty's life and complicate her realities. Concurrently, Kitty's excitement over poetry and nature reflects her yearning for knowledge and escape from her harsh domestic life. The beginning sets the stage for a tale rich in emotional conflict and moral dilemmas, inviting readers to delve deeper into Kitty's journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
