Summary "Fortune's Fool" by Rafael Sabatini is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the tumultuous life of Colonel Randal Holles, a soldier whose past haunts him as he navigates the treacherous political landscape of post-Restoration England. The story delves into themes of fortune, love, and the consequences of one's ancestry, against the backdrop of societal upheaval. The opening of the novel introduces Martha Quinn, the proprietor of a tavern called the Paul’s Head, amidst the backdrop of an unstable England grappling with war and plague. Colonel Holles, a handsome but shabbily dressed man, has taken refuge in her establishment, escaping the burdens of his past, when Martha sets her sights on him as a potential husband. As they engage in playful banter, we learn of Holles’s precarious financial situation and his hopes of reconnecting with influential figures from his past, specifically the Duke of Albemarle, who might offer him the military employment he desires. Thus, the stage is set for a tale that weaves personal ambition with the shifting tides of fortune and societal change. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
