Summary: "The Days of Bruce: A Story from Scottish History. Vol. 1" by Grace Aguilar is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the tumultuous period of Scotland's struggle for independence through the lens of its notable characters, particularly focusing on the heroic figure of Robert the Bruce and the trials of the Countess of Buchan." Aguilar intertwines rich narratives of loyalty, love, and patriotism, offering an inspiring depiction of Scottish history and the indomitable spirit of its people, particularly the women who played pivotal roles in that era. "The opening of "The Days of Bruce" sets a dramatic tone, introducing readers to the turbulent atmosphere of Scotland in 1306. The story begins with a wild storm at the Tower of Buchan, where the noble house prepares for impending conflict. Here, we meet key characters, including the spirited youth Alan of Buchan and the introspective Nigel Bruce, who discuss the nation's dire situation and their hopes for freedom from English tyranny. Their conversation reveals the political tension and the weighing of loyalty towards the rightful king, Robert Bruce. As news of Robert's call to arms reaches them, the sense of impending conflict deepens, leaving characters—especially the Countess of Buchan, torn between her duties to her country and the complex emotions tied to her family's legacy."
