Summary |
"Worthy of His Name" by Eglanton Thorne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds the struggles of young Gus Rew, who lives in poverty with his father, Augustus Carruthers, a once-gentleman now fallen on hard times due to alcoholism and misfortunes. The narrative explores themes of resilience, identity, and the essence of what it means to be a gentleman amid societal prejudices and personal tragedies. The opening of the book introduces us to the setting of Lavender Terrace, a dismal neighborhood where Gus and his father reside as lodgers. The father, beset by illness and regret, reminisces about their noble lineage while grappling with the consequences of his past choices. As they navigate their grim reality, Gus exhibits a blend of innocence and determination, insisting on the promise he made to his father to uphold the values of a gentleman, even as he faces ridicule from his peers. The poignant exchanges between Gus and his father set the tone for a story that will delve into themes of heritage, personal struggle, and the unwavering hope for a better future.
