"The Memoirs of Count Grammont — Volume 02" by Anthony Hamilton is a historical narrative set in the flamboyant French court of the late 17th century. This volume follows the dashing Chevalier de Grammont through his continued escapades of romance, friendship, and competition. After his time in the service, de Grammont arrives in Turin. There he seeks the affection of Mademoiselle de Saint-Germain and the Marchioness de Senantes.

The narrative is a lighthearted reflection on the customs of courtship and the personal aspirations during an era defined by cunning and the elaborate rules of court society.
