"The Fortunes of Garin" by Mary Johnston is a historical fiction that follows the journey of Garin de Castel-Noir, a young squire in medieval times, as he wrestles with weighty decisions about his future and the meaning of honor. The story is woven with threads of chivalry, the allure of power, and the conflict between serving God and pursuing a warrior's life. Garin is pulled in different directions by his brother, a man of the cloth, and his lord, a battle-hardened knight, with Garin's internal conflict brought to light during the rescue of a knight from a band of robbers. The narrative balances duty, affection, and aspiration to shape Garin's destiny in a detailed medieval setting.
