The narrative revolves around the life and experiences of Norman Leslie, a Scottish monk who recounts his adventures and observations during a tumultuous period in France marked by the Hundred Years' War and the rise of Jeanne d'Arc, also known as the Maid of Orleans. The story provides a unique Scottish perspective on a historical figure and events that significantly impacted France. The beginning of "A Monk of Fife" introduces us to Norman Leslie, who reflects on his upbringing in Fife and his formative experiences, including his mother's death and a fateful encounter with a sailor. Troubles arise when Leslie unintentionally becomes involved in a violent altercation during a game of golf, prompting him to flee to France. This leads to his engagement with Jeanne d'Arc's story, as he determines to chronicle the events he witnessed during a critical time for both France and Scotland. The opening sets the tone for an adventure filled with themes of honor, identity, and historical significance, inviting readers into a richly woven historical tapestry.
