The novel “His Majesty’s General” by the English writer Daphne du Maurier is told in the first person and is based on real historical events that took place in 17th-century England. A country engulfed by religious and civil war needed, for its salvation, people who were wise, fearless, and steadfast.
Richard Grenville, “the king’s general,” turns out to be precisely such a person. The main heroine believes in love, nobility, kindness, and justice.
