| Summary | "The Queen's Favourite: A Story of the Restoration" by Eliza F. Pollard is a historical novel set during the mid-20th century. The story unfolds around the tumultuous period following the English Civil War and the subsequent restoration of Charles II to the throne, focusing on the experiences of Queen Henrietta Maria and her young daughter, Princess Henrietta, along with a girl named Agnes Beaumont, who is brought into their lives under mysterious circumstances. The narrative explores themes of loyalty, identity, and the challenges faced during a politically charged era. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Queen Henrietta Maria and her daughter in the Louvre, filled with excitement over news of Charles II's return to England. Amidst the joy, a child named Agnes dances into the scene, bringing light to the somber court. The opening sets a tone of nostalgia and sorrow while hinting at Agnes's unknown origins and the fortunes that may change for the characters. As the narrative unfolds, the queen, seeking to stabilize her family's position, decides to bring Agnes close to them, leading to a myriad of interactions as they all navigate their uncertain futures in a society rife with divided loyalties and political strife.
