About this book
In the Angevin countryside of 1811, Napoleon's wars reach into farm kitchens as well as grand houses. Eleanor C. Price opens Angelot with a farmer mourning sons lost to the army and fearing for the youngest. Across the valley, the restored château of Lancilly awaits the return of the Sainfoy family. Angelot's father, Urbain, supports the Emperor while maintaining ties with royalist relatives, making family peace a delicate business.
The novel brings these divided loyalties into a love story. Hélène de Sainfoy faces her mother's ambition for a match with General Ratoneau, while her own thoughts turn toward Angelot and the freer life of La Marinière. Rural scenes, sharp family conversations and the pressure of rank give the historical setting a personal scale.
