Summary:

"Kitty Alone: A Story of Three Fires" by S. Baring-Gould is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the central character, Kitty, and explores themes of family, suspicion, and tragedy stemming from a devastating fire. Throughout the narrative, Kitty grapples with the consequences of her father's mysterious disappearance following the fire, as well as the unsettling dynamics within her family. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for the unfolding mystery and tension surrounding Kitty's family. It begins with Pasco Pepperill, Kitty's uncle, in a state of turmoil following a fire that has destroyed his storehouse and left the fate of his brother-in-law, Jason Quarm, uncertain. As accusations and suspicions swirl, particularly directed at Pasco, the characters wrestle with guilt, fear, and the potential for crime. Zerah, Kitty's aunt, emerges as a significant figure as she confronts Pasco, suspecting his involvement in Jason's unfortunate fate. Meanwhile, the narrative hints at Kitty's innocence and her desperate quest for the truth, as she navigates the fragile relationships within her family amidst the chaos of the tragedy.
