"In Search of Mademoiselle" by George Gibbs is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of French and Spanish colonial conflicts in Florida, the story follows Sydney Killigrew, a blunt mariner drawn into a world of adventure, treachery, and romance. As he journeys through this tumultuous period, the narrative explores themes of love, loyalty, and the harsh realities of colonial existence. The beginning of the novel introduces us to Sydney Killigrew, who feels adrift after his maritime ambitions are thwarted by the decline of the English Navy. He reunites with Captain David Hooper, who offers him a chance for adventure aboard the ship "Great Griffin". As the voyage continues, they engage in a fierce battle with a Spanish galleon, leading to the capture of the Spanish commander, Don Diego de Baçan, and a dramatic encounter with the noble Mademoiselle Diane de la Notte. This sets the stage for an exploration of personal rivalries and romantic entanglements that will center around Killigrew's transformative experiences and his struggle to protect those he meets along the way.
