Chapter 1: The novel takes place in England and France in 1775. The English, at the time, are worried that the American colonies might try to decolonize themselves, as well as over the religious prophecies foretold in their day. In France, extreme violence is a regular occurrence, in anticipation of the French Revolution.
Chapter 2: Three travelers are making their way to Dover in late November, but the dangerous journey forces them to hike alongside their carriage. One of the travelers, Mr. Lorry, is met by a messenger by the name of Jerry Cruncher while on the road. The meaning and purpose of their exchange is unknown at this time.
