This review is from: The Refugees (Paperback)
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, best remembered as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, produced an excellent historical drama with The Refugee, a story about the Huguenots. Although Doyle wasn't a Christian, he writes with a great deal of sympathy as he describes the plight of French Protestants in the late 17th century.
The courage and resolution of the Hugenots was legendary as the majority went into exile rather than recant their evangelical faith in Christ. Consequently, they lost family, friends, property, and employment. It's a cruel chapter in France's history. The novel begins in France but finishes in Canada. Along the way we visit the inner sanctum of King Louis' palace, travel through the ice-berg infested waters of the north Atlantic sea, and journey in the wilderness of New France. Doyle also wrote The Tragedy of the Korosko,: And the Green Flag, and Other Stories of War and Sport, |
