A stunning coming-of-age novel set against the backdrop of the English Civil War, as one extraordinarily loyal and headstrong girl battles to save the people she loves
In 1640 London 15-year-old Henrietta Challoner dreams of adventure, of a life lived at the gallop, of the opportunities afforded to her brothers, Ned and Sam. She cannot know how devastatingly real these dreams will become, as the country slides towards vicious civil war. The crisis threatens to tear Henrietta's family apart. As religious and political tensions spill into the streets, they all must decide what comes first—their family, their country, or their desires. But while she strives to maintain the peace at home, Henrietta becomes embroiled in a deeper plot: to hand London over to the King.

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 By annabel cellini 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 By Darlene Elizabeth Williams 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.
