Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Jacobite Exile" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book follows the adventurous escapades of Charlie Carstairs, a young Englishman deeply embroiled in the Jacobite cause during the reign of King William of Orange, as he navigates loyalty, betrayal, and plots against the king. Set against the backdrop of England and Sweden's historical conflicts, the story begins with a tense atmosphere filled with the perils and machinations of political intrigue." "At the start of the story, we are introduced to Lynnwood, the ancestral home of Sir Marmaduke Carstairs and his son Charlie. Sir Marmaduke's strong Jacobite beliefs create tension with neighboring families, particularly with the Whig Dormay family. As political plots unfold, it becomes evident that spies are watching from within, leading to Sir Marmaduke’s arrest based on false accusations of treason. The opening chapters build intrigue as Charlie learns about the dark conspiracies surrounding his father, and he begins to contemplate plans to rescue him from imprisonment, setting the stage for an exciting exploration of loyalty and courage in the face of danger."
