The Castle of Roussillon: Or Quercy in the Sixteenth Century is a historical novel written by Eugenie Mistral Dutheil De La Rochere and first published in 1884. The story is set in the 16th century in the region of Quercy, France, and follows the lives of the aristocratic family of Roussillon who reside in a castle. The novel begins with the arrival of a young woman named Isabeau who claims to be a distant relative of the Roussillon family. Her arrival sets off a series of events that reveal the secrets and scandals of the family, including a forbidden love affair and a hidden treasure. The novel also explores the political and social upheavals of the time, including the rise of Protestantism and the conflicts between Catholics and Huguenots. Through vivid descriptions of the castle and the surrounding countryside, the author brings to life the beauty and complexity of Quercy in the 16th century. The Castle of Roussillon is a captivating and engaging historical novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of the French aristocracy during a tumultuous period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
