| Summary |
"The Secret Chamber at Chad" by Evelyn Everett-Green is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the tumultuous times following the Wars of the Roses, the story revolves around the Chadgrove family living in their ancestral home of Chad. The novel introduces the resourceful and courageous young son, Bertram, who discovers a mysterious stranger taking refuge in a secret chamber of the house, leading to a series of adventures intertwined with themes of loyalty, bravery, and the quest for justice. At the start of the novel, the scene is set with the Chad estate under the glow of a June moon, as the family celebrates a period of peace following the wars. The narrative quickly shifts focus to the eldest son, Bertram, who is startled awake by strange sounds emanating from the wall next to his bed. His curiosity leads him to uncover a haggard man, the fugitive Warbel, seeking shelter from his pursuers. Bertram, moved by empathy, vows to help the stranger, thus initiating a bond between them and introducing the secret chamber that will play a pivotal role in their lives. As the two interact, themes of friendship and the struggle against oppressive forces emerge, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
