Summary: "Martin Valliant" by Warwick Deeping is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around the titular character, Brother Martin, a monk trying to uphold his vows while navigating the complexities of love, temptation, and the darker motivations of his fellow monks. As Martin struggles with his desire for a life of holiness versus worldly pleasures, he faces antagonism from other characters like Brother Geraint, who harbor their own malicious intentions. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Brother Geraint and the tranquil yet deceptive world of the priory where the characters dwell. Geraint appears to harbor a grudge against the virtuous Brother Martin and seeks to undermine him. The peaceful setting belies the brewing tension as Geraint plots against Martin, whose sincere nature and innocence attract the attention of the local women, notably Kate Succory. The opening chapters establish a tone of conflict between spiritual aspiration and earthly desires, hinting at a moral struggle that will only intensify as the story unfolds.
