| Summary | "Miss Cheyne of Essilmont, Volume 3" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This work, part of a trilogy, explores various themes of war, personal loss, and relationships against the backdrop of the Ashanti Wars in West Africa. Central figures include Jerry Wilmot, a soldier navigating the perils of battles in a foreign land, and Alison Cheyne, whose personal struggles unfold simultaneously in the drama of love and duty. The opening of the volume plunges readers into the chaos of warfare as British troops face fierce resistance while advancing towards Coomassie, the Ashanti capital. Amidst the dense jungles and the clarity of battle, significant characters like Jerry experience the harsh realities of war, including the loss of comrades and the brutality of their enemy. As the story unfolds, a stark contrast emerges between the ravages of battle and the intimate struggles of characters back home, notably Alison, who longs for connection and grapples with her emotions as she learns of the conflicts’ toll. This dual narrative sets the stage for a complex interplay of love, honor, and tragedy. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
