Summary "The Chevalier's Daughter; Or, An Exile for the Truth" by Lucy Ellen Guernsey is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows Genevieve, the daughter of the Chevalier d'Antin, as she navigates religious tensions in 17th century France, particularly the challenges faced by Protestants amid persecution. The story is set against the backdrop of her upbringing in the family château and reveals insights into her faith and the struggles of those who share her beliefs. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Genevieve, reflects on her early life at the Château of Tour d'Antin in Normandy, where she was born to a French Protestant father and an English mother. The opening chapters detail her family dynamics, her mother's delicate health, and the contrasting lives of her friends, Lucille and David, the children of a family servant. Genevieve's sheltered upbringing is marked by the looming threat of persecution for their religious beliefs, which colors her interaction with the world around her. Through vivid descriptions, the narrative introduces themes of faith, identity, and the weight of expectation as she contemplates her place within her family and society at large, while also alluding to the larger historical context of the Huguenots' plight in France.
