They must now rely on their survival skills and resourcefulness to overcome the challenges of their environment. The novel explores themes of survival, love, and personal transformation as Moran and Alice face the harsh realities of their situation."Moran of the Lady Letty" is considered one of Frank Norris's adventure novels and is distinct from his more socially and politically themed works. It reflects the fascination with adventure and the exotic that was prevalent in literature of the late 19th century.
