The Garden of Swords
1899
The Garden of Swords, written by Max Pemberton and first published in 1899, is a novel set against the backdrop of the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). It follows the lives of Beatrix Hamilton, an English woman, and her French soldier husband, Edmond Lefort, as they navigate love and emotional complexities amid the looming conflict. The story begins in Strasbourg during their wedding, where the festivities are tinged with nostalgia and foreshadow the turmoil that war will bring to their lives and the local community.
