To Leeward is a novel written by F. Marion Crawford. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the lives of a group of wealthy Americans who are sailing on a luxurious yacht in the Mediterranean Sea. The main character, Sir Reginald Elton, is a wealthy Englishman who is on board the yacht with his wife, daughter, and son-in-law. As the yacht sails through the Mediterranean, the passengers encounter various challenges and obstacles, including storms, pirates, and a mysterious woman who seems to be following them. Along the way, Sir Reginald must confront his own personal demons and come to terms with his past mistakes. The novel explores themes of love, betrayal, redemption, and the complexities of human relationships. With vivid descriptions of the Mediterranean landscape, To Leeward is a captivating tale of adventure and romance.1883. With frontispiece. F. Marion Crawford was one of the more famous authors in the English-speaking world at the time of his death in 1909. He wrote over forty novels, most of which were in the style of disposable romances popular at the time. He also wrote stories of the horror and occult, which are generally the ones for which he is remembered today. To Leeward begins: There are two Romes. There is the Rome of the intelligent foreigner, consisting of excavations, monuments, tramways, hotels, typhoid fever, incense, and wax candles; and there is the Rome within, a city of antique customs, good and bad, a town full of aristocratic prejudices, of intrigues, of religion, of old-fashioned honor and new-fashioned scandal, of happiness and unhappiness, of just people and unjust. Besides all this, there is a very modern court and a government of the future, which may almost be said to make up together a third city.
