Summary: "Saint Michael: A Romance" by E. Werner is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story embarks on a complex exploration of family, legacy, and personal struggle, primarily revolving around Michael, the illegitimate grandson of Count Steinrück, and the burdens of his parentage. The narrative is steeped in themes of love, loss, and identity as Michael navigates the aftermath of his mother's scandalous marriage, deeply impacting his sense of belonging and place in the world. The opening portion of the narrative introduces the aftermath of a death in the Steinrück family, setting the stage for a solemn atmosphere marked by family tensions and historical legacies. Count Steinrück, now responsible for his deceased cousin's daughter, faces the burden of family honor and the memory of his outcast daughter, Louise, whose choices haunt the family. Amidst funeral proceedings, Michael emerges as a complex character raised in isolation and mistreatment, symbolizing the struggles borne out of familial rejection. The conversation between the Count and the visiting priest reveals underlying tensions and prejudices against Michael, who, despite the looming threat of violence, exhibits an intense yearning for acceptance and justice, hinting at the personal odyssey he is set to embark on.
