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.
