Paul Rushworth-Brown's masterful storytelling breathes life into the past, crafting a tapestry of suspense, unexpected passion, and historical accuracy that captivates your senses. Delve into the lives of ordinary individuals ensnared in the grip of extraordinary circumstances, and gain a unique perspective on a pivotal period in history.

A sweeping saga meticulously researched. A fascinating tale of the adventures of a peasant family in Yorkshire, England. Rushworth-Brown has a simple writing style with detailed descriptions that tend to characterize many longer novels. His characters are well-developed with baddies that you really love to hate. A masterpiece of storytelling.

One of the very best reasons to read historical fiction is that it brings history to life. Obviously, historical accuracy will vary and the writers don't know how these people we recognise from our textbooks thought, or felt, or what they said. What they can do is they make them human again. Writers, like Paul Rushworth-Brown, bring people who have been dead for hundreds of years back to life.

Hooked from the start this book is just sweeping me along. Didn’t want to put it down and couldn’t wait to pick it back up again. A highly recommended period drama with enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat. :)
