The City of Refuge is a novel written by Walter Besant, a British novelist and historian. It is set in the late 19th century and tells the story of a young woman named Hester, who is forced to flee her home in London after being falsely accused of a crime. She seeks refuge in the city of Paris, where she meets a group of artists and intellectuals who take her under their wing.As Hester tries to rebuild her life in Paris, she is drawn into a web of political intrigue and scandal. She becomes involved with a group of anarchists who are plotting to overthrow the government, and she finds herself torn between her loyalty to her new friends and her desire to stay out of trouble.The novel explores themes of social justice, political activism, and the struggle for personal freedom in a rapidly changing world. It is a compelling and thought-provoking work that offers a vivid portrait of life in turn-of-the-century Europe. With its richly drawn characters and intricate plot, The City of Refuge is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and political thrillers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
