The story takes place in France during the late 16th century and follows the life of a young Huguenot girl named Jacqueline de la Marini�����re. Jacqueline is the daughter of a wealthy Huguenot merchant and is brought up in the Protestant faith. However, when her father is killed during the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre in Paris, she is forced to flee to Fontainebleau, where she seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle. In Fontainebleau, Jacqueline falls in love with a young Catholic nobleman named Henri de la Roche. Despite their religious differences and the animosity between their two faiths, the two lovers embark on a passionate and tumultuous romance. Their relationship is further complicated by the political and religious tensions of the time, as the Huguenots are persecuted and oppressed by the Catholic majority. As they struggle to navigate their love in the midst of this turmoil, Jacqueline and Henri must also confront their own personal demons and past traumas. The Little Huguenot: A Romance Of Fontainebleau is a sweeping tale of love, faith, and political upheaval in 16th century France.
