"The Woman with a Stone Heart" by O. W. Coursey is a historical romance novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Philippine War, the story revolves around Marie Sampalit, a spirited and determined young woman, who navigates the tumultuous landscape of love, loss, and war following the tragic death of her fiancé, Rolando Dimiguez. Her journey encapsulates themes of vengeance and bravery as she transforms from a heartbroken lover into an active participant in the struggle for her country's independence. The opening of the novel introduces Marie and Rolando strolling along Manila Bay, revealing their love and the impact of the ongoing insurrection on their planned wedding. The narrative quickly shifts to tragedy when Rolando is arrested and executed for espionage, prompting Marie to vow to avenge his death. As she witnesses the rise of the tide claiming Rolando's life, her emotional turmoil transitions into a fierce determination to combat the Spanish forces. Following her lover's execution, her journey takes her from grief to the battlefield, promising readers a gripping tale of courage and revenge amidst the chaos of war.
