Letters to Laura

All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

Francis Forestier was the gardener of the Dubois Palace, and the secret lover of the Duchess of Alvern, Laura Dubois, before the start of the revolution. Now he is a tired general, crowned with the chaplet of glory, covered with the blood of his enemies, dying alone in a cold hospital bed. How did he get here? How did he become the man that he is? How many losses did he suffer to reach his own goals? To achieve his own dreams? And was it worth it in the end, to trade his merry and peaceful life for honor and for fame? To trade his health, security and happiness for recognition? To trade the woman he loved for a chance to prove himself worthy of her?
