Ralestone Luck by Andre Norton

Description

Ralestone Luck by Andre Norton is a novel written in the late 1930s. The story follows the Ralestone siblings—Rupert, Ricky, and Val—as they return to their ancestral home, Pirate’s Haven, in Louisiana, after years of hardships. They are tasked with reclaiming their family’s fortunes and the mysterious Luck that has been lost to their line for generations, and the siblings’ witty banter adds a light-heartedness to their serious quest. At the start of the book, the Ralestone siblings are on a journey to their new home, navigating through a mix of historical and personal challenges as they arrive at Pirate’s Haven. The opening introduces their dynamic personalities, with Ricky’s spirited nature, Rupert’s practicality, and Val’s dry humor. Their discussions about the family’s storied past highlight hints of mystery surrounding their lineage and the Luck—an inheritance believed to bring prosperity to its bearer. Despite the humor, there is an underlying sense of purpose: the siblings are determined to reclaim their family’s legacy and uncover the secrets hidden within the haunted corridors of their home.
