Novel 339: Frederic Edward Breton, God Forsaken (1895)

September 27, 2025 David Bywaters

Hubert von Herkomer, Rocky Landscape with a Wayside Shrine


A Catholic woman marries a cold agnostic scientist; trouble ensues.


Frederic Edward Breton (1864-1902) wrote eight novels between 1893 and his early death, of which this was the third.

“The book is certainly written with ability, and it is the kind of story to remain in one’s memory.” Academy, July 13, 1895

“The plot is most uncommon and very cleverly worked out, and the writer never lacks power.” Saturday Review, August 24, 1895
