| Summary | "VC — A Chronicle of Castle Barfield and of the Crimea" by David Christie Murray is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. It centers around a group of characters in the English village of Castle Barfield as they grapple with the impending realities of war during the lead-up to the Crimean War. The story begins with an intense storm that sets an ominous backdrop for the unfolding drama involving the Jervase family and their associates, suggesting themes of conflict, both external and internal. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Jack Jervase, who faces a chaotic storm as he makes his way home, setting the stage for a rich exploration of character dynamics and tensions that will arise. Jack is portrayed as a robust figure, who, despite the unrelenting tempest, is eager to gather his friends and family and discuss the recent declaration of war. This news incites a mix of excitement and trepidation among the characters, particularly as the implications of their involvement in the war loom large. Following the revelation of war, we witness a darker intrigue involving familial betrayal and financial scandal that will test their relationships and moral integrity as they navigate the challenges that war brings to their doorstep.
