Members Reviews:
This is one of the best historical novels I have read in years
Brava! One of a very few five star ratings I've given. This is one of the best historical novels I have read in years. It starts a bit slow but matures and grows, like its characters - a family caught up in and divided by the English civil war. At one point I thought that Henrietta, the central character, was going to be Scarlett O'Hara two hundred years before her time. How wrong I was!
This book is much deeper, exploring the conflicting religious, political and social views that twisted and turned during the was and ended with the judicial murder of a king. There are lessons here for 21st century America. What happens when political extremes clash and voices of reason, moderation and compromise are drowned out by zealots? Who steps in to secure order? And, and at what cost to individuals and the society, and to freedom to decent?
Ms Senior's debut novel is spectacular.
Capitivating and compulsive read
This is an exciting and engaging historical thriller set against the charged back drop of England's revolution. The history of the period is fascinating and the author writes with great authority about this period that has been mostly overlooked. The writing is lyrical and human; thrilling without being melodramatic. The characters are compelling and we connect deeply with root for our our protagonist as the story unfolds. If you enjoy novels by the likes of Dumas or Mantel, this will be right up your alley!
Gritty, Sensational Read
A fabulously written tale of love and honour toward king and country, and especially toward family. An engrossing read during the last years of Charles I of lives lost on battlefields and city streets, religious fervour, and the inevitable cost. Highly recommended.
but I remember I loved it. Of course I would recommend it most ...
I read this book when it was published, a few years ago, so I wouldn't be able to give details ... but I remember I loved it. Of course I would recommend it most warmly to people interested in history. The author manages to make a very complex period of history very vivid. Excellent work.
