Summary "The Dead Tryst" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around family dynamics, love, and social expectations in a pre-war German context, focusing on the intertwined lives of the Countess Adelaide, her daughters Ernestine and Herminia, and their cousin Heinrich. At the core of the narrative lies a conflict born from a childhood betrothal that Herminia vehemently opposes, adding tension to her secret love for Ludwig, a young officer. The opening of the book introduces us to the setting: a summer evening in Cologne, where the three women are gathered, contemplating the impending visit of Heinrich and his English friend, Charlie Pierrepont. The Countess expresses her desire for Herminia to embrace her destiny, which involves accepting an arranged marriage to Heinrich. Herminia, however, resists the idea of an enforced union and secretly longs for Ludwig. Their dynamic sets the stage for the romantic entanglements that follow, leading to themes of resistance against societal norms and the pursuit of personal happiness.
