Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Maria, a vivandiere, or suttler, in the French army during the Napoleonic Wars. Found as an infant on a battlefield, she was adopted by the 11th Regiment, becoming their beloved "Daughter of the Regiment". The author, through Maria's journey, explores themes of identity, family, and the conflicting loyalties of love and duty. Maria is a spirited and independent woman who finds joy in the camaraderie of the regiment, a surrogate family that has nurtured her and given her a sense of belonging. However, her life takes a dramatic turn when her true identity as the niece of the Marchioness of Birkenfeld is revealed. Maria's world is torn apart as she is thrust into a life of aristocracy and societal expectations, a stark contrast to her former military life. The story further unfolds as Maria navigates this new reality, longing for her past life and struggling to reconcile her feelings for Tonio, a Tyrolese peasant who loves her, with the demands of her newly discovered lineage. The author masterfully intertwines elements of romance, historical drama, and social commentary, creating a compelling narrative that celebrates the strength of individual spirit amidst societal constraints. This book offers a captivating exploration of the complexities of family and love in a turbulent historical period, ultimately reminding us that true happiness lies in embracing oneââ â¢s true self.
