"Colville of the Guards, Volume 2 (of 3)" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book continues the story of Robert Wodrow and his love for Ellinor Wellwood, as well as the intertwined fates of Mary Wellwood and the various influences of gentlemanly society. The narrative explores themes of love, ambition, and social standing amidst the backdrop of military life and the societal structures of the period. The opening of this volume delves into Robert Wodrow's anguish and sense of loss after deciding to enlist in the military, seeking both escape and purpose following Ellinor’s rejection.
