It was spring at Bellecour—the spring of 1789, a short three months before the fall of the Bastille came to give the nobles pause, and make them realise that these new philosophies, which so long they have derided, were by no means the idle vapours they had deemed them. By the brook, plashing its glittering course through the park of Bellecour, wandered La Boulaye, his long, lean, figure clad with a sombreness that was out of harmony in that sunlit, vernal landscape. But the sad-hued coat belied that morning a heart that sang within his breast as joyously as any linnet of the woods through which he strayed. That he was garbed in black was but the outward indication of his clerkly office, for he was secretary to the most noble the Marquis de Fresnoy de Bellecour, and so clothed in the livery of the ink by which he lived. His face was pale and lean and thoughtful, but within his great, intelligent eyes there shone a light of new-born happiness. Under his arm he carried a volume of the new philosophies which Rousseau had lately given to the world, and which was contributing so vastly to the mighty change that was impending. But within his soul there dwelt in that hour no such musty subject as the metaphysical dreams of old Rousseau. His mood inclined little to the "Discourses upon the Origin of Inequality" which his elbow hugged to his side.

About the Author Rafael Sabatini (1875 - 1950) was an Italian/British writer of novels of romance and adventure. Sabatini was a prolific writer; he produced a new book approximately every year. He consciously chose to write in his adopted language, because, he said, "all the best stories are written in English." In all, he produced thirty one novels, eight short story collections, six nonfiction books, numerous uncollected short stories, and a play. He is best known for his world-wide bestsellers: The Sea Hawk (1915), Scaramouche (1921), Captain Blood (1922) and Bellarion the Fortunate (1926). Other famous works by Sabatini are The Lion's Skin (1911), The Strolling Saint (1913) and The Snare (1917).

It's his first in the setting he handled best, revolutionary France. The style is mostly vintage Sabatini, though the plot is somewhat weak by his later standards; the ending works both intellectually and emotionally, though the mature Sabatini would have come up with something more satisfying. The plot, as usual, is assisted by coincidences and characters acting in the one way they would obviously avoid; but it avoids the unacceptable holes of most of his earlier novels.

By Karen Amrhein Sabatini was dismissive of his earlier novels, but I enjoy some of them even more than a couple of his late works. "The Trampling of the Lilies" is one of those early gems. Yes, it lacks the historical detail of his later writing, but it more than makes up for that with a compelling story and an engaging, nail-biting romance between two who are very much from different sides of the tracks. Set during the French Revolution, "The Trampling of the Lilies" features an exceptionally non-aristocratic hero, a heroine with much to learn, and some really loathsome villains. If you want a page-turner written with elegance and filled with action, intrigue, and romance, look no further.

I loved this book from first to last. Rafael Sabatini has an exquisite writing style. And in the 3 books I have read of his so far, he always has me laughing with wondrous amusement at the great lengths of foolishness the main male character will go to for the "love of his life". The men are not foolish throughout the book, usually only once, maybe twice, but it is amusing and has me hopeful that real men of honor everywhere go to great lengths for the woman they love. If I could change one thing about Sabitini's books, it is that they not end so abruptly. They are not bad endings, but they end before I wish them to.
