Published in 1860, Julius Bacher’s novel brings to life Sidonie of Saxony, a figure often just a footnote in history books. This is the first part of her three-volume story.
The Story
We meet Sidonie as a young woman in the 1500s. Her world is one of strict protocol and political games. To end a feud between two powerful families, her brother, Duke Maurice of Saxony, arranges for her to marry a man she doesn’t love. Sidonie is smart and has her own mind, but she’s treated like a bargaining chip. The story follows her as she’s pushed toward this unwanted future, showing us her private hopes and the heavy weight of her public role. It’s a close look at the moment her personal dreams collide with cold, hard politics.
Why You Should Read It
What grabbed me was how modern Sidonie feels. Her struggle for a say in her own life is something anyone can understand. Bacher doesn’t make her a perfect heroine; she’s sometimes resigned, sometimes quietly rebellious. The book asks a big question: how do you keep your sense of self when everyone else sees you as a tool for peace? It’s less about sweeping battles and more about the internal war she fights every day.
Final Verdict
Perfect for readers who love character-driven historical fiction, especially those who enjoy stories about overlooked women in history. If you liked the personal stakes in books like Philippa Gregory’s work but want to explore a German court, start here. The older writing style is clear and engaging, not difficult. Just be ready to get invested—you’ll probably want to hunt down volumes two and three right away.
