'The Maroon' by Mayne Reid is a novel that opens by whisking readers to the sugar estate of "Mount Welcome" in Jamaica. Nestled in a lush valley between two wooded ridges lies the estate's "great house," an architectural gem that boasts a spacious, crucifix-shaped hall with open jalousies that keep the tropical air flowing. With dining and drawing-room in one, the grand chandelier at the center of the room provides the perfect illumination, while the side rooms offer comfortable bed-chambers with jalousied windows. This is the set of where events shall unfold that would change the life of this estate's residents forever.
