A young and rich orphan, the Marquis de Lafayette is an excellent match; Adrienne de Noailles is a girl from a noble family with great connections at court. Their union could have become an ordinary marriage of convenience if the two teenagers were not united by pure and tender love. The Duke d'Ayen's son-in-law has a brilliant military or court career available to him, but Lafayette wants to glorify his name himself. He goes to America to fight for the independence of the former English colonies; Adrienne is faithfully waiting for him, languishing in the unknown. Should she go to him, like the wives of English and German officers? Instead, she becomes her husband's active assistant, a "good American" in France, proving him right, carrying out his errands and raising their children. Suffering and death, betrayal and nobility - having gone through many trials, they both became adults in these six years. The events of the American War of Independence are shown through the eyes of its participants from different camps. Sign of information products 12+
