The Seats of the Mighty Reviews

    Nice little booklet on the origins of Canada. With the unmissable love story like Romeo and Juliet that this time ends as it should

    Ack! Another romance novel. This was the #3 best seller for 1896. The setting is the Seven Years War in Quebec. The main character is a British Army captain held hostage by the French because he holds some private love letters of the Marquise de Pompadour that she wants back. He falls in love with a 17 year old girl right before he's put into the dungeon. So there is a lot of pining. Eventually his arch enemy, a Machiavellian but likable character, also falls in love with the same girl. Prison lasts about six years which is about half the book. Ugh! Finally he escapes, plots revenge, leads the British to victory and gets his girl back. Lots of long winded superfluous dialog. And lots of it is just confusing. Only the latter 1/3 of the book is interesting.
