Açıklama
"The Pigeon Pie" by Charlotte M. Yonge is a historical novel set in the early 17th century during the tumultuous times of the English Civil War. The story focuses on the Woodley family, particularly on the poignant struggles of Lady Mary Woodley and her children as they navigate the chaos of a nation divided, all while keeping the hope for their royalist ideals alive against overwhelming odds. The opening of the novel introduces us to the serene yet charged atmosphere of Forest Lea House, where young siblings, including Charlie, Eleanor, and Lucy, play amidst fears of the ongoing war. Walter, their older sibling, famously longs for glory in battle, while the looming presence of war weighs heavily on the household as their father has gone to fight for King Charles. Through lively conversation and playful banter, the children express their hopes and dreams, but the harsh realities soon seep in as they learn of their father's welfare and the fate of the kingdom.
