A Marriage Under the Terror
Produced by Al Haines
"A Marriage Under the Terror" by Patricia Wentworth is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous times of the French Revolution, the story centers around the aristocratic life and the chaos that unfolds as societal norms crumble under the weight of the Terror. The narrative introduces readers to complex characters like the Marquise de Montargis and the Vicomte de Sélincourt, navigating love, betrayal, and political intrigue amidst a backdrop of revolution and impending doom. The opening of "A Marriage Under the Terror" sets a vivid scene on a warm August morning in 1792 as the Marquise de Montargis, a woman of beauty and privilege, grapples with the fallout of her lifestyle as the Revolution threatens the stability she once knew. The chapter unveils the intricacies of her relationships with her betrothed, M. le Vicomte, and her cousin, Mlle de Rochambeau, who has recently arrived in Paris. As the characters exchange pleasantries, the underlying tension of political unrest becomes apparent, hinting at the imminent danger and societal upheaval they will have to navigate. The revelations about Mlle de Rochambeau’s background and her involvement with the turbulent events of the day establish a compelling narrative foundation, inviting readers to explore the consequences of love and loyalty under a regime of terror.
