Summary: "Chantemerle: A Romance of the Vendean War" by D. K. Broster and G. Winifred Taylor is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous period of the Vendean War in 1792, the story revolves around the complexities of love, loyalty, and the political upheaval of the time. The main characters include Lucienne, a young woman caught in a tumultuous love affair, and Louis, her passionate suitor, who must reconcile their relationship with considerations of honor and duty. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a richly atmospheric setting in the Tuileries Palace, where Lucienne daydreams while snow falls outside.
