| Summary | "Virginia of Virginia: A Story" by Amélie Rives is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in Virginia and centers around the protagonist, a young Englishman named Roden, who arrives in the state with ambitions of becoming a horse farmer. As he navigates his new surroundings, he encounters Virginia Herrick, the overseer's daughter, whose unique blend of charm, strength, and a carefree spirit captivates him, leading to potential romantic undertones. The opening of the story introduces Roden as he arrives in Virginia, where he has just purchased a farm called Caryston Hall. He meets Virginia while seeking directions, and the two engage in witty conversation that exposes their contrasting backgrounds—his as an English gentleman and hers as a native Virginian. Virginia’s vibrant personality shines through her casual ease with the local wildlife and her ability to swiftly transition from serious to playful. Their interactions reveal both humor and depth, setting the stage for a developing relationship as Roden settles into his new life on the farm amidst the Southern wilderness and its traditions.
