Falconberg is a fairly conventional romance: progressive modern smart handsome etc guy (who had a past moment of mid-level moral failing that he's already long overcome) wins heart of independent beautiful woman by defeating his big bad conservative preacher uncle in an ambiguous political plot. What makes this otherwise not very good novel perhaps a bit more interesting is that its characters are Norwegian immigrants in a Minnesota village, and so the primary point of contention revolves around amalgamation.
