In 1792, as Paris turns on its king, the peasants and gentry of the Vendée rise in his defence. Trollope follows the real leaders of the revolt, Cathelineau, de Lescure and Henri de Larochejaquelin, along with his sister Agatha and the Republican commanders such as Santerre, through recruiting, victory and the long agony of defeat.
Trollope’s only historical novel of the Revolution, an early work rewarding for his admirers. Download the free EPUB.
