The King's General

Product Information

In 2014 Nina Companeez released a TV movie about Daphne du Maurier's novel called "Le général du roi". The plot is transposed to France, during the War in the Vendée. Following some violence nearby, Honor moves to Menabilly, the home of her sister and brother-in-law, where she again meets Richard, who has been posted to Plymouth as a leader of the King's army in the west of England. I could go on talking for ages about the excellent characterization, the breathtaking scenery, the trademark mysterious atmosphere, the clever foreshadowing, and the remarkable writing that I have found in this and all of du Maurier’s work. I should also mention that I learned so much more than I could have imagined about the English Civil War and in particular, the battles that were fought on Cornish ground. When I finished, however, I realized that I hadn’t been put through some grueling history lesson, but rather an enthralling account of what it would have been like for both the soldiers and the civilians during this time. It’s as if du Maurier wielded her inventive pen and waved her magical wand – by the end not only had I been swept away by the people and their hopes and dreams, their fears and insecurities, and their passions, but I had also been enlightened on a period of history that I knew little about. This is another clear favorite! An Assistant General cannot be sent on every activity that a Main General takes part in. The full list of activities that an Assistant can be sent on are outlined below: I will say for Richard what he never said for himself, and I will show how, despite his bitter faults and failings, it was possible for a woman to love him with all her heart, and mind, and body and I that woman.”

How to use Evony Assistant Generals The idea for one of the themes in this story came from the discovery of a skeleton.....thought to be that of a cavalier.....whilst renovations were being carried out at her Cornish home, Menabilly. So, I found this book to be an excellent history lesson.....perhaps if Daphne du Maurier had written a few text books things would have seemed different, as her writing does seem to bring the events she writes about alive, injecting mystery, excitement and suspense into her fictional interpretations of momentous times, not to mention a little, but not too much, romance, but nothing soppy....du Maurier has a penchant for making her heroines suffer a little....sometimes a lot, often having them fall for the sort of men who probably aren’t ideal husband material. Richard turned and saw me. And as he looked at me it was as if my whole heart moved over in my body and was mine no longer"
