Summary "The Advocate: A Novel" by Charles Heavysege is a fiction work written in the mid-19th century. The story opens in Montreal circa 1800 and centers around a skilled and eccentric lawyer—an advocate—whose tumultuous relationship with a woman named Mona Macdonald reveals themes of love, temptation, and societal expectations. The complex emotional landscape is enriched by the advocate's illegitimate son, Narcisse, adding layers of familial tension and moral conflict to the narrative. At the start of the novel, we meet the advocate as he has a fervent discussion with Mona about the institution of marriage, wherein he expresses disdain for the constraints it imposes. Their conversation is laced with humor and melancholy, revealing Mona's vulnerability and the advocate's desire for independence. As the narrative unfolds, we learn of the advocate's past, his rise in legal prowess, and the underlying complications tied to Mona and her daughter, Amanda, who harbors her own romantic aspirations towards Claude Montigny, a well-to-do gentleman. The opening sets a stage rife with emotional and social turmoil, promising an exploration of love's intricacies interwoven with legal and personal dilemmas.
