| Summary | "Red Eve" by H. Rider Haggard is a historical novel published in the early 20th century, around the 1910s. Set against the backdrop of medieval England, the story revolves around two main characters—Cousin Eve Clavering, a strong-willed young woman caught in complex familial and romantic rivalries, and Hugh de Cressi, a humble merchant's son with noble lineage. The novel explores themes of love, honor, and the clash of social statuses within the setting of impending conflict. The opening of "Red Eve" presents a rich tapestry of narrative that alternates between a grim procession in an Eastern land, led by a mysterious figure referred to as Murgh, and a poignant meeting between Eve and Hugh amidst the frozen marshes of Suffolk in February 1346. As the two young lovers navigate the treacherous social landscape shaped by their families' historic feud, they confront not only their feelings for each other but also the looming threat posed by Eve's newly betrothed, a French lord. The intricacies of their societal roles, the burdens of family legacy, and the tensions of an approaching war set the stage for an epic tale that blends passion with danger.
