| Summary | "The Car of Destiny" by C. N. Williamson and A. M. Williamson is a romantic novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Christopher Trevenna, a man burdened by his family's past and drawn to a royal romance during his clandestine visit to Spain, especially between him and Lady Monica Vale, a friend of the future Queen. As Christopher navigates the complexities of love, class, and duty, the plot unfolds against a backdrop of intrigue and adventure. At the start of the narrative, we meet Christopher Trevenna, who plans to travel to Biarritz, where he intends to get a glimpse of Spain's royal figures, including the King and his fiancée. He is joined by his American friend, Dick Waring, and it's quickly established that Christopher's identity as a former nobleman is complicated by his family's banishment from Spain. Upon their arrival, Christopher encounters a royal motorcade, leading to a chance meeting with Lady Monica Vale, and he instantly falls in love with her. Their burgeoning romance becomes complicated by class distinctions and the dark history surrounding Christopher's family, foreshadowing the challenges they will face. This opening sets the stage for a tale rich in romance, adventure, and the clash of old-world traditions with modern desires. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
