Summary "Chantemerle: A Romance of the Vendean War" by D. K. Broster and G. Winifred Taylor is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous period of the Vendean War in 1792, the story revolves around the complexities of love, loyalty, and the political upheaval of the time. The main characters include Lucienne, a young woman caught in a tumultuous love affair, and Louis, her passionate suitor, who must reconcile their relationship with considerations of honor and duty. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a richly atmospheric setting in the Tuileries Palace, where Lucienne daydreams while snow falls outside. She receives a visit from Louis, who brings her violets and ignites a passionate exchange fraught with the tension of their social situations—Lucienne is betrothed to Gilbert, the heir of a noble family. The narrative delves into their complex emotions, revealing how their love is tested by the societal constraints they navigate. As this private struggle unfolds, it hints at the broader backdrop of political unrest looming in France, setting the stage for a riveting exploration of personal and political entanglement as the story progresses.
