Summary "I Will Repay" by Baroness Emmuska Orczy is a historical novel set during the tumultuous period of the late 18th century, specifically in the years leading up to the French Revolution. The story unfolds primarily in Paris, capturing the heightened emotions, rivalries, and the stark contrasts between the lives of the aristocracy and the common folk. The main characters include Paul Déroulède, a wealthy yet socially awkward man drawn into a duel that results in the death of the young Vicomte de Marny, and Juliette de Marny, the counterpoint to Déroulède whose life is irrevocably changed by her brother's untimely death. The opening of the novel introduces a tense atmosphere filled with societal codes and the impending violence of dueling among the French elite. A quarrel arises in a gaming saloon over a woman, igniting a duel between Déroulède and the Vicomte. The narrative takes a swift turn when, amid the chaos, the Vicomte is fatally wounded, leading to themes of honor, revenge, and the heavy burden of guilt that will resonate throughout the story. Juliette, who vows to avenge her brother's death, becomes entwined in the fabric of revolutionary sentiments and personal vendettas, setting the stage for a dramatic exploration of fate and retribution. As the reader, we are prepared for a layered tale of personal and political intrigue, underscored by historical events that shaped France. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
