Michel and Angele [A Ladder of Swords] — Complete
Produced by David Widger
"Michel and Angele" by Gilbert Parker is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. It is set against a historical backdrop, primarily dealing with the lives of Huguenot refugees in England, particularly focusing on the intertwined destinies of its main characters, Michel de la Foret and Angele Aubert. The story appears to explore themes of love, sacrifice, and identity amidst adversity. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the historical context through original records from the Walloon Church in Southampton, detailing Michel's marriage to Angele. It quickly shifts into a romantic narrative that weaves their personal stories with broader historical events, revealing Angele's longing for Michel as he faces dangers. Angele's fierce loyalty and determination to reunite with Michel are set against the risks they both endure as Huguenots. As Michel takes on perilous journeys, the opening establishes a rich tapestry of characters and emotional stakes that hint at the challenges and triumphs that lie ahead.
