| Summary | "Mary of Lorraine: An Historical Romance" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. Set against the backdrop of 16th-century Scotland, the story weaves a narrative of political intrigue, familial feuds, and themes of revenge, centered around the character of Lady Alison Kennedy, a formidable widow determined to avenge her husband's death. With a rich exploration of Scottish history and culture, the novel invites readers into a world of battles, supernatural elements, and the intricacies of Scottish identity. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the eerie and atmospheric setting of Fawside Tower, where Lady Alison awaits news of her son amidst the lingering shadows of past violence and feuds. The narrative captures her relentless anxiety and fierce demeanor, reflecting the tension of a woman rooted in revenge due to her family’s long-standing enmity with the Hamiltons of Preston. As she navigates her fears and hopes for her son’s return from France, the tone is underscored by elements of superstition and the harsh realities of Scottish life during this tumultuous period. The stage is set for a story that intertwines personal and political stakes, promising a profound exploration of loyalty, conflict, and the complexities of a war-torn Scotland.
