Summary: "The Tory Lover" by Sarah Orne Jewett is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the American Revolutionary War, it revolves around the intertwined lives of Colonel Jonathan Hamilton, who embodies both privilege and loyalty to his cause, and Captain Paul Jones, a naval officer known for his adventurous spirit. The book delves into themes of love, loyalty, and the moral complexities that arise during times of conflict. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to a gathering at Colonel Hamilton's estate on the last day of October in 1777. The festive atmosphere is palpable as guests await the arrival of Captain Paul Jones, who is returning from a successful mission. As they cheer his entrance, the tensions of the outside world are hinted at through discussions of loyalty and treachery amidst the ongoing war. Prominent characters, including Judge Chadbourne and Major Haggens, engage in conversations that reflect their conflicting opinions about the war and their allegiances, while Hamilton’s sister, Mary, navigates the delicate line between familial loyalty and her own burgeoning feelings for Wallingford, a young man caught in the turmoil of differing loyalties. The opening establishes a richly detailed world where personal relationships are tested by political divides, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
