| Summary | "The Coil of Carne" by John Oxenham is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the Carron family and the enigmatic history of their ancestral home, Carne, set against a backdrop of societal upheaval and personal intrigue. The narrative captures the intricate lives of the characters, particularly focusing on the implications of love, betrayal, and the passage of time within a family. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the isolated yet imposing coastal house of Carne, built by Denzil Carron as a refuge during a time of religious persecution. The opening chapters explore the history of the Carron family and set the stage for the central conflicts to emerge, including the chaotic love life of Denzil Carron, his son, and the aftermath of his decisions. The narrative hints at generational struggles, familial duty, and the profound consequences of choices made, all underlined by the ominous presence of Carne and the unpredictable nature of the sea.
