The novel is set during the Jacobite uprising of 1745, also known as the Forty-Five Rebellion, in Scotland. The story likely follows the experiences of various characters caught up in the political and military events of the time, including the conflict between supporters of the exiled Stuart monarch, James Francis Edward Stuart (also known as the Old Pretender), and the British government.Emily Sarah Holt was a British author known for her historical novels, many of which were set in the medieval and early modern periods. "Out in the Forty-Five" is characteristic of Holt's writing style, with its attention to historical detail, vivid characterization, and compelling narrative.
