Harlette is a historical fiction novel written by Marion Polk Angellotti and published in 1913. The story takes place in medieval France and follows the life of a young woman named Harlette, who is born into a family of peasants. Despite her humble beginnings, Harlette possesses a rare beauty and intelligence that catches the eye of the local lord, Raoul de Valmy.Raoul takes Harlette as his mistress and she soon becomes a fixture in his household. However, their relationship is complicated by the fact that Raoul is already married and has children. Harlette must navigate the treacherous waters of court intrigue and jealous rivals as she tries to secure her place in Raoul’s life.As the years pass, Harlette becomes more and more entrenched in the world of the nobility. She uses her wits and charm to gain the favor of powerful men and women, and eventually becomes a respected figure in her own right. However, her success comes at a cost, as she must constantly navigate the dangers of court politics and the ever-present threat of scandal.Throughout the novel, Harlette is portrayed as a strong and independent woman who refuses to be defined by her humble origins. She is a complex character who is both sympathetic and flawed, and her story is a compelling exploration of power, love, and ambition in medieval France.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
