St. Roche: A Romance, From The German by Henrietta Wach Von Paalzow. This sweeping historical romance unfolds at the court of Louis XIV and the shadowed halls around St. Roche. It follows Lionel, Count de Crécy-Chabanne, his wife Flora Lester, and Victorine de Lesdiguières as ambition, love, and secrecy entangle them. Lionel’s marriage to Flora—conceived and celebrated under forms that provoke courtly resistance—arouses the plotting of his mother, the Maréchale de Crécy, and the schemer Marquis de Souvré. Amid glittering salons and the rituals of rank, Flora’s steadfast piety and beauty inspire those around her, including the priestly Fénélon and the dying painter Lesueur. A revelation later discloses Flora’s survival and Lionel’s true commitments, unleashing a web of betrayal, guilt, and reconciliation. The tale traces Lionel’s ascent at court, his fall into remorse, and the long journey toward redemption, love, and the rightful heir of St. Roche, within a world of treachery and grace. It is a meditation on duty, faith, and human frailty.
