Synopsis
Shooting The Rapids by Alexander Innes Shand is a historical adventure novel set in mid-19th-century Europe. It follows Ralph Dacre, a young English heir whose life is upended by political upheaval, intrigue, and romance. Beginning amid the liberal ferment of 1849 and the chaos surrounding Rome’s siege, Dacre moves through espionage, diplomacy, and battlefield courage as he and a closely knit circle of diplomats, soldiers, and aristocrats become entangled with the fortunes of the Roman Republic. Across episodes in Rome, Naples, Baden, and London, the narrative interweaves his dangerous encounters with Love interests Edith Boycott and Julia Rufford, and his ascent through patronage networks and inheritance tensions. The book blends vivid historical scenes—such as revolutions, trials, and revelatory meetings—with social satire and a keen eye for class and power. It is a panoramic tale of ambition, loyalty, and the costs of chasing fortune in a turbulent era, told with wit, energy, and romantic sensibility.
