Publisher's Synopsis
""A Lady of the Old Regime"" is a historical novel written by Ernest Flagg Henderson and published in 1909. The story is set in France during the 18th century, in the period leading up to the French Revolution. The main character is a young noblewoman named Gabrielle de Montserrat, who is torn between her loyalty to the aristocracy and her sympathy for the suffering of the common people. As she navigates the complex political and social landscape of pre-revolutionary France, Gabrielle finds herself caught up in a dangerous web of intrigue and betrayal. Along the way, she must confront her own prejudices and biases, as well as the harsh realities of life for those who are less fortunate than herself. Through Gabrielle's journey, the novel offers a vivid and compelling portrait of a society on the brink of upheaval, as well as a powerful meditation on the nature of power, privilege, and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
