Summary "Orphans of the Storm" by Henry MacMahon is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is inspired by the motion picture directed by D.W. Griffith and centers around Henriette and Louise Girard, two foundling sisters raised as siblings yet facing grave misfortune and danger during the tumultuous era of the French Revolution. The novel explores themes of love, sacrifice, and the struggle against social injustice amid the backdrop of impending chaos in Paris. At the start, readers are introduced to the lives of Henriette and Louise, who, after being orphaned during a plague, dream of a better future in Paris, particularly for the blind Louise. Their journey quickly turns perilous as Henriette faces the threat of abduction, while Louise is left vulnerable and alone in a city rife with dangers. The opening sets a dramatic tone, revealing their contrasting fates in the clutches of ruthless characters and the oppressive aristocracy, highlighting both their innocence and the dire consequences of a society on the brink of revolution.
