| Summary | "Colville of the Guards, Volume 2 (of 3)" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book continues the story of Robert Wodrow and his love for Ellinor Wellwood, as well as the intertwined fates of Mary Wellwood and the various influences of gentlemanly society. The narrative explores themes of love, ambition, and social standing amidst the backdrop of military life and the societal structures of the period. The opening of this volume delves into Robert Wodrow's anguish and sense of loss after deciding to enlist in the military, seeking both escape and purpose following Ellinor’s rejection. As he grapples with his emotions and the impact of his choices, Ellinor is depicted experiencing her own struggles, caught between her past love and the unwelcome advances of Sir Redmond Sleath. The chapter presents a finely layered emotional landscape, filled with introspective dialogues that reveal the characters' inner conflicts and aspirations, setting the stage for the unfolding drama and connections as they navigate their choices in an unforgiving world.
