Overview

"Rondah; or, Thirty-Three Years in a Star" by Florence Carpenter Dieudonné is a fascinating novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the strange adventures of four characters—three men and one woman—who find themselves unexpectedly transported from Earth to a small volcanic star during a snowstorm. The heroine, Rondah, emerges as a significant figure, enduring numerous challenges across this alien landscape filled with intriguing plant-like inhabitants known as the "bird people," set against a backdrop of love, jealousy, and mystery. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a chaotic winter night in the Adirondack Mountains, where the main characters, led by Regan Farmington, are caught in a blizzard. Their successful escape leads them to the hut of a hermit, where they learn of a mysterious plan involving a meteor. Tensions arise as Regan appears to play a manipulative role in the unfolding events, which culminates in their transportation to the star. The beginning sets up a gripping narrative filled with intrigue, exploring themes of fate, survival, and the complex relationships among the characters, particularly surrounding the affections directed towards Rondah.
