Description
The writer’s first historical novel is about the 1685 uprising in England. Publisher’s description: “Lately, my dear granddaughters, I have noticed that I have begun to grow old. My memory is weakening, and I reason less easily than before. So I have decided, while I still can, to tell you the story of my life from beginning to end.
Remember everything I shall tell you during these long winter evenings, and pass my words on to your children and grandchildren.
… Ah, it was an evil time.
Englishmen took up arms against Englishmen, brother killed brother, and the king, the natural defender and protector of his subjects, oppressed them, forcing them to do what they hated….
…I shall try to bring back to life for your instruction people who died long ago; I shall summon from the mist of the past events of great importance and meaning. Scholars describe these events in their books, but they make them terribly dull, whereas in reality there was nothing dull about the events I am going to tell you of. Quite the contrary: they were breathtaking, they carried the whole person away…”
