CommentA biography of a fictitious character from the seventeenth century whose life spans a fascinating period that links traditional English life with the beginnings of modernity. Beautifully written and consistently convincing. Just by coincidence there was a good deal of overlap with The Blood in Winter: A Nation Descends, 1642, which made me enjoy it even more.
