4.0 out of 5 stars A pretty good, if lightweight read, Dec 31 2005

By Kurt A. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com

If American author Robert W. Chambers (1865-1933) is remembered at all today, it is for his macabre works, including his 1895 book, The King in Yellow. However, around the turn of the twentieth century, Mr. Chambers switched over to writing in the much more lucrative genre of romantic, historical fiction.

The Maid-at-arms is the story of two young people during the American Revolution - George Ormond and Dorothy Varick. Thrown together by family responsibilities, their love can never be. And yet, with the war intruding upon their comfortable New York world, everything is thrown into chaos, and anything is possible...

Overall, I found this to be a pretty good, if lightweight read. The story is interesting, and I loved the author's use of the upper-class New York seigniory class with its slavery and pretensions as a backdrop to the story. So, if you like good historical fiction, then I highly recommend this book to you. It's quite an interesting read.
