| Summary | "In the Day of Adversity" by John Bloundelle-Burton is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a soldier named Georges St. Georges as he embarks on a treacherous journey through snowy terrain, carrying his young daughter on his way to Paris under the king's orders. The story teases themes of duty, familial love, and the lurking dangers of political intrigue in a historical backdrop." "At the start of the novel, we meet Georges St. Georges, a soldier on a mission from the king, as he navigates a relentless snowstorm while caring for his three-year-old daughter, Dorine. St. Georges reflects on his journey and the harsh realities he faces, including the loss of his wife and the potential threats he and his child may encounter. Shortly after entering Dijon, he seeks refuge in the home of the Marquis Phélypeaux, encountering various characters who reveal different aspects of the looming dangers tied to his identity, hinting at a conspiracy that threatens not only his life but that of his daughter as well. As Georges takes up residence, we are introduced to varying impressions of the marquis, introducing readers to a web of connections and hidden motives that will likely unfold as the plot develops."
