Seawell's Story Marked by Deep Plot and Dramatic Intrigue
A detailed critique notes Miss Seawell's tale as a substantial 500 page novel with mature development rather than a mere romance. The plot centers on a dramatic arc involving Francezka's marriage, her lover, his disappearance, and a tragedy shaping the rest of the fiction. Historical figures Count Saxe and Voltaire figure as background, but the narrative remains focused on the young couple and their era.
