But Just maybe this love Story really had it's roots in 17 00's France ? This original, old oil painting belongs to Nicholas, of these novels, kept in the master bedroom, where it's a constant reminder of the tenuous (and also enduring) nature of true-love, which though it is embodied in 2 persons, if unrequited, lives on after they're gone, patiently waiting, trying to find that happy ending that's long been eluding it, but now needing surrogates to do so!
The Legend, France, 1700's. Childhood sweethearts, Genevieve and Charles, are forced apart as their families flee from persecution in France, to safety in England (via Holland for Genevieve) and Southern Africa, for Charles. Just before his family's ship sailed for Africa, on the dock, he gave Genevieve a silver ring, and a letter. As he stood on the deck of the departing sailing ship, Genevieve read his letter. He'd finally declared his love for her, and told her that if somehow she could come and join him
