| Summary | "Dulcie Carlyon: A Novel" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a richly detailed Victorian setting, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and the harsh realities of war, particularly through the experiences of its characters amidst the backdrop of the Anglo-Zulu War. Central to the narrative are the characters Finella Melfort and Vincent Hammersley, whose romantic struggles become intertwined with the chaotic events of their time. The opening of "Dulcie Carlyon" introduces a tense situation where Finella meets secretively with Vincent, causing jealousy in her cousin Shafto, who is determined to interfere in their relationship. The dynamics become increasingly complicated when Shafto confronts Finella, revealing his malicious intent. As tensions mount, a misunderstanding leads to a heartbreaking separation from Vincent, who mistakenly believes Finella has betrayed him. This painful misunderstanding sets the stage for the characters' subsequent struggles, both personally and against the backdrop of the unfolding war, where themes of loyalty and honor are deftly woven into the dramatic narrative.
