2.75 stars. I think. Don't @me, I'm conflicted. :-P
(I don't know how to insert images into a GR review, but as you read the following, please picture that "butterfly meme" in your mind. You know, the one with the butterfly and the guy wearing glasses.)
Lady Anne: *exists*
Lady Anne: *is a total badass, has a super compelling backstory and a strong story goal, has been planning for years to win back the ancestral home which was stolen from her family, commands her own private army of grizzled retainers who would literally die for her, is easily The Coolest Person Around*
Author: is this ... Sidekick Material?
Me: *already frothing at the mouth* dON'T YOU DO IT!!! Don't you dare make her the sidekick!! She is the hero! This is HER STORY! This is HER HOME!! Didn't you read the title????
Author: nah, I'mma push her offscreen for the majority of the book and make her the "inspiring influence" for my all-important male protagonist ... he has Potential, I promise
Me: *seethes*
this is why I don't trust straight men, y'all
Moving on to the more serious part of the review! The Red Keep was published in 1939 by historical fiction author Allen French. I picked up a copy on Thriftbooks recently while searching for cheap new reading material. This book in particular wasn't recommended to me; however, Allen French WAS recommended to me as somebody who wrote good historical fiction adventures, so I thought "eh, why not."
The Red Keep of the title is (as hinted) Lady Anne d'Arcy's ancestral estate. Her family was slaughtered by robber barons when she was a young teenager. Anne was forced to flee the Red Keep with her surviving warriors, and take refuge in a neighboring castle. But ever since, Anne and her men have dreamed of making the Red Keep theirs once more. Pretty badass, right? You would think this alone would be enough to earn Anne the place of protagonist. But because this is 1939, and because in 1939 it was practically unheard-of for an adventure story to have a female lead ... the lion's share of the attention goes to a man.
The lucky guy's name is Conan. He and Anne have grown up together, as he's a squire in the same castle where she took shelter. Conan is the POV character & narrator for all but a few chapters, while Anne fades offscreen for well over half the book. Conan is definitively framed as the "hero," even resolving Anne's conflict with the robber barons by single combat. Which he semi-miraculously wins. Because, of course he does. :-P
Conan is slow to support Anne's efforts to win back her inheritance. In fact, he spends the first few chapters belittling her hopes and plans WHILE HAVING NO CONCRETE PLANS FOR HIS OWN FUTURE. He starts off aimless and slightly witless: his character arc makes him arrogant and slightly wooden, and he has so little respect for Anne's training or planning that when she shows up, highly experienced warriors in tow, to aid him in the final battle, his first thought is that she'll be in the way. That she'll hold him back.
Look here, y'all. I'm not an idiot. I am well aware that a battlefield or a castle siege is no place for someone unused to dangerous situations, regardless of their gender. I am all for guys protecting their girlfriends, keeping an eye out for unnecessary risks, refusing to allow them to compromise their personal safety for questionable goals: all that jazz.
But if your girlfriend has been TRAINING FOR THIS VERY MISSION SINCE SHE WAS THIRTEEN, if she is every bit as comfortable in armor--yes, armor!--and on horseback as you are, and if she's showing up to join the fight for HER OWN BLOODY CASTLE and bringing you reinforcements which YOU ACTUALLY DO NEED, your first thought should not be "geez, I wish she hadn't come, she's cramping my style."
For this reason, when the author presents us with the "happy ending" of Anne being legally barred from claiming the Red Keep because she's a woman, and the local duke is like "here you go, just marry Conan and he'll claim your castle for you, problem solved," I am Not Happy, Bob.
#i'm not happy, bob #ask me why i'm not happy
Other gems which I did not appreciate:
- Besides Anne, all the women in positions in power in this book are evil. They're specifically portrayed as evil because they "control men" and "emasculate men." No, thanks.
- I kid you not, there's a line in one of Anne's rare POV flashes where Conan is being lowkey bossy and Anne thinks how much she "likes for him to command her." Me: *spits out drink* uh, no, she flipping doesn't
- There's several passages where the author kind of inserts his own, modern voice to tell us how Backward and Ignorant and Superstitious these medievals are. It felt a little weird and overtly Protestant, especially the passages where he's complaining about the Church.
- ANTI SEMITISM. This is where the book really shows its age, and not in a good way. The one Jewish character, a young man named Isaac, is shown as despicably weak, cowardly, and "unmanly." There's allllllllllllll this heavy-handed rhetoric about Isaac not being a "real man," both on the part of the other characters and on the part of the narrator. Until the climax: when Isaac pleads for forgiveness from Conan by saying "my race [yes, pretty sure those exact words were used] My Race has never been taught how to fight or be brave, we've been oppressed and our oppression HAS MADE US COWARDLY [that exact sentiment, I wish I was kidding], but I want to atone for my cowardice and become a real warrior like you."
- Me: *muffled swearing*
- Don't!!!!!!!!!! Just don't!!!!!!!!!!!
- Look, guys, the worst thing about this whole sideplot is that Allen French, if you asked him, would say he wasn't trying to be anti-Semitic at all. He would tell you he was being open-minded and tolerant by actually discussing Christian Europe's oppressive treatment of the Jews, and how those centuries of oppression have 'shaped' the 'flawed Jewish character' or whatever the flip. But DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM HERE. The very assumption that Jewish people have inherent or learned character 'flaws' due to the horrific persecution they've experienced ... is. blatantly. racist.
- And meanwhile ... the Holocaust. Because yes. This is 1939. And we can never escape that awful, tragic context.
*deeeeeeeeep breath*
Those issues aside, I am glad I read this book for the sake of Anne's character alone. Despite seeing her mostly through Conan's eyes: despite Conan stealing so much of her well-deserved spotlight: Anne is still a strong heroine. She has a fresh, bracing manner and a singleness of purpose that I really admire. She knows how to lead, how to inspire confidence. She rides to the beleaguered castle at the head of her men, chain-mail armor and all. There's a great scene where somebody's trying to keep her from heading out to battle with the words, "Anne, on your duty, I order you to stay!" Anne's response? "Madam, I follow my duty." *exit stage left, head held high*
Like. That's GOOD. That's REALLY GOOD STUFF. I just wish ... we had gotten approximately 100x more of it ... and way less of the other #problematic #elements.
So yeah. 2.75 stars and a whole boatload of conflicted feelings for $500, Alex.

This is a good story at the very least because Allen French was a historian and the historical detail is worth it. Two examples of many: the crowded conditions in which people in a castle lived and the social order of the Middle Ages. One of the things that French perhaps overindulges is instruction. But it is interesting–he points out things the reader would not notice that the characters in the story live with, such as the lack of privacy in the surroundings of a castle. He brings these things alive in the situations of his book, and they don’t come up as unnecessary adornments. What is really well done and done gradually, like a theme that keeps being developed throughout the book, is the social order of the middle ages. French works it into a major theme of the work, and it is splendid. Clearly he is sympathetic rather than hostile to the order of medieval society. It is worth seeing how he shows the glories and benefits of a medieval order, from peasant to aristocrat, from guildsman to outcast.
He is in sympathy with the lack of squeamishness that life involved as well. There is a lot of fighting and killing in this book, but these things are told almost as if they were technical tips about things one takes into account in the heat of battle. I don’t know what kind of experience French had, and I certainly know nothing about fighting myself, but he seems very persuasive in his descriptions of how battles and confrontations play out. He’s detailed on the armor and its purposes, but not tediously so. I think some of the ingenious siutations that come about must be the fruit of historical research–that he’s often retelling stories and bits and situations he’s taken and adopted for his own (he takes from Invanhoe, and maybe he was a latter day Walter Scot).
Allen French is good with character. His storytelling is rather like that of the Sagas, and indeed, his Story of Rolf and the Viking Bow is a retold Saga. He also did Grettir the Strong. It means the telling is sparse, terse, quick to get to the point, including no uncessesary details or detours. There is little of atmosphere as a result, oddly, for all that he gives you the sense that you understand Medieval characters better. There is no psychological moiling about, no externalized inner states. It is a very businesslike writing, taking the reader through what is necessary, no more.
One of his weaknesses is that he seems to take little joy in evocative expression. So one does not read his stories for the words, but for the people and their situation–for the tale itself. It is nothing more than caring about how things turn out for these characters rather than haunting prose or unimaginably compelling descriptions. His descriptions are rather detached, intelligent, logical–and when it comes to the details of battle, somewhat clinical, which helps squeamish persons such as myself. I would be put out by the precision of the blows struck but that his object is never to impress those on me as much as to be careful about how things happened. French is good at that, good at planning things, connecting reasons, exhibiting changes of mind, making the psychological progress of his characters obvious. All with bare, straightforward prose. And he knows when the right few words are striking.
The bad are punished, the repentant are forgiven, the worthy are admired, the vile despised, the simple acquire subtlety and are rewarded, and the foolish are reduced. The story is a comedy very obviously heading toward marriage, and that also is happily achieved. One wants these things in stories: a rightness in the conclusion that is more than a clever ending. And it is that the ending is more than clever that gives it its high emotional impact. It is right. One wants an ending that was worth all the ups and downs of the story, one that affects one strongly rather than weakly. If at the end of the book one is unambiguously glad one read it and has obtained food for thought, it is a good book, whatever its faults.

did-not-finish
October 26, 2022This book was feeling so random. I wasn't into it so I've decided to set it aside.
The young me would be horrified at how many books I've started and haven't bothered to finish this year.

This didn’t keep my interest/attention terribly well, but my 13yo son enjoyed it.

I really loved this book. I think this is a boy's book. It is full of combat, intrigue and a very little romance. I love Allen French's writing as much as his story telling.

To review with the kids:
Red Keep is attacked and the lord and his son killed. Lady Anne is alive but has to leave it, damaged, to live with a neighbor and the boy he’s training to be a knight, Conan.
Odo is killed by Ralph.
Conan challenges Aymar, people believe God will help the honorable one to win and Aymar killed his brother
Conan calls himself Luke but the Sauval find out the truth because of his sword, taken from Ralph

This holds a special place in my heart primarily because it inspired my first poem. Being eleven or so at the time, it largely mimicked the plot I had just read, but that's beside the point: this book is good enough to get a writer started.
December 29, 2017
On occasion The Red Keep was very exciting, but much of the time it dragged and just didn’t keep my attention. I found my mind wandering often and had to remind myself to focus. I don’t really recommend this book, but I wouldn’t say not to read it either.

This is SUCH an amazing book!!! Definitely worth reading over and over...but a little time between each read :) His other books are worth reading!

Great story! it made me smile. what a great ending. perfect for young boys (and moms, too!).

Great book! Another excellent read by this author and I quite enjoyed it. Though I dare say, he likes to make his endings a little differently...not quite sure how I felt about it. It all ended happily ever after, but it was strange. Lol. ;) Good, but strange.
Compared to "The Lost Baron" that I read by this author recently, this one was more violent in description as there was more war and more action. Makes sense, but there were a few little "uncomfortable" episodes. The storyline was quite good, very exciting, and heartwarming. There were no worries about the main character young lady being too feminisitic even with her strong and commanding personality, and the main character young man was a gentleman. Loved it! I think most would enjoy this book. :)

This book is historical fiction but rather than embeding characters into some famous historical arc, it attempts to create a fictional world on a small scale and accomplishes that by telling a fun story that seems logical for the time. The story is fun for kids and introduces opportunities to talk about how people have always had the emotions we do, but the society and culture have been different. The story revolves around Anne, who as a child, had her whole family murdered by neighbors, and her quest to right the wrong to her and her people and retake her castle. Conan, a boy from a different neighbor, unintentionally sets off a chain of events that makes that homecoming possible.

Welcome to a world of intrigue and danger, heros and villians, and on top of that, realism!
Our heroine has just lost her father, leaving her keep vulnerable to the attacks of her disgusting neighbors.
Our hero somehow gets himself embroiled in the mess, being a younger son allows him to be a little adventurous. Together they guard the castle against seige, but they are sadly outnumbered. And even if they can save her keep, will the King allow a woman to be Lord of a keep?
Set in medeavil France, this is a really good book, well researched and written, suitable for all ages.

I think our library is one of the very few who own this in the state because there are more requests for this book through the state-wide delivery than any other book, at least for our library. So, well, you know.... you have to wonder why? So, I will find out...
I enjoyed the story. We have come a long way on battles compared to the face to face combat demonstrated here. I will be thinking about which student(s) I can pass this on to...

These "living history" books were the kind I first read aloud to my boys, then had them read them to me, then I would find the books squirreled away in corners of their rooms as they read them on their own - whenever they could find a moment. This was one of their favorites.

A tale of chivalry and knighthood in medieval Burgundy. It’s a nice example of its type, but includes some self-aware moments that aren’t necessarily typical. Also, the heroine is not a damsel in distress, but she still feels of her time, so yay! [Jan 2011]
March 2, 2014
I enjoy learning more about the past through Allen French's books. He shows you history through his tales. My only warning is that there are many descriptive passages of the violence of the fighting, if you are one sensitive to that sort of thing.
November 17, 2008
exciting!!

Good adventure story, enjoyable picture of life in Burgundy in the Middle Ages. Barons, outlaws, life in a class society--quite interesting. I enjoyed this one a lot.
March 16, 2010
This is a solid medieval novel. The characters are likable and the story is engaging. The author did his research and it seemed historically realistic.
March 1, 2011
I loved this book as a teenager!!! A delightful story during the middle ages! =)
September 15, 2013
A story which immerses you in Medieval France around the 1300's.
November 21, 2014
This is a great medieval fiction story. Definitely one of my favorites and one that has influenced my own writing.
Highly recommended.
Highly recommended.

One to add to your solid historical adventure shelf. An engaging read. Likable characters. It's in the style of those excellent children's books that don't speak down to children.
August 11, 2021
A great book to read with your kids, especially your boys! Courage, truth, boldness, bravery, honor

Wow, an exciting fast past story that brings to life the history of the time period!!
