| Summary | "A Queen of Tears, vol. 2 of 2" by W. H. Wilkins is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the life of Caroline Matilda, Queen of Denmark and Norway, as she navigates the political intrigues and turmoil of her time, particularly her tumultuous relationship with Count Struensee. Through her experiences, the novel explores themes of power, betrayal, and the cost of passion within the royal court. At the start of the narrative, we encounter a shifting political landscape in Denmark where Struensee, once the most powerful man behind the throne, finds his position precarious as public discontent grows against him. The narrative details the intrigue surrounding the queen and her lover, exposing the divisions among the court and the growing unrest among the populace. Various characters, including disgruntled nobles and military officers, look to exploit Struensee's weaknesses, indicating an imminent upheaval that threatens both his position and the Queen's life. The early chapters set the stage for mounting tension and drama, painting a vivid picture of a kingdom on the brink of revolution. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
