Sylvia's Lovers 


The novel begins in the 1790s in the coastal town of Monkshaven. Sylvia 
Robson lives with her parents on a farm, and is loved by her rather dull 
Quaker cousin Philip. She, however, meets and falls in love with Charlie 
Kinraid, a sailor on a whaling vessel, and they become engaged, although 
few people know of the engagement. But Charlie gets press-ganged and has 
to leave without a word. (Summary from Wikipedia)
