| Summary | "The Last Hope" by Henry Seton Merriman is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. This work intertwines the fates of a diverse cast of characters in the remote English village of Farlingford, exploring themes of identity, mystery, and the past's influence on the present. Central to the narrative are two gentlemen, Dormer Colville and the Marquis de Gemosac, who arrive at the village seeking information about a mysterious Frenchman buried in the local churchyard, setting off a chain of events that reveal ties to French royal history. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to River Andrew, a local grave-digger who shows Colville and the Marquis a neglected grave of a man known only as Frenchman. His burial remains shrouded in mystery, captivating the interests of both the newcomers and local residents who speculate about the significance of his life and death. As the villagers await the return of a ship named "The Last Hope," they are drawn into the larger narrative surrounding the historical backdrop of post-revolutionary France, ultimately intertwining their fates with that of Frenchman and his son, Loo Barebone, hinting at a deeper story of lost heritage and royal aspirations that unfolds as the plot progresses.
