Weir Mitchell is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the American Civil War, it revolves around the intriguing diplomatic tensions between the United States and European powers. The main character, a secretary at the American legation in France, finds himself embroiled in a web of espionage when he unwittingly gives his friend’s card to a foreign diplomat while trying to assist a mysterious and beautiful woman who has sought refuge in his carriage. The opening of the narrative introduces us to the unnamed secretary during his hectic time at the U.S. legation in Paris, underscoring the atmosphere of suspicion and covert observation that permeates his daily life. As he navigates the complexities of his responsibilities and the political climate of the time, he hires a new valet, Alphonse, who has his own ties to the police force. Subsequently, the protagonist encounters a distressed American woman in a rainstorm, leading to a fast-paced adventure that spirals into a potential diplomatic crisis. The tension escalates as the woman's identity and the implications of her actions come into play, all while the main character grapples with the consequences of their chance meeting amidst the backdrop of war and international intrigue.
