A strong work of historical fiction
I'll be honest, historical fiction isn't usually my cup of tea, but I could get behind this one.
Stories of war are often intertwined with romance, as the heightened emotions and sense of one's own mortality are brought to the fore, and this is no different. Jayne is our heroine, a physician who doesn't mind which side of the war the soldiers that she treats are on, she is plain and easy to read, completely opposite to our other main character.
William Harrier crosses paths with Jayne again and again, but he is much more of a mystery and it's unclear which side he's on. Jayne is a Royalist, so her loyalties will be divided if he turns out to be working for the wrong side. Despite this, Parliament are slowly becoming the lesser of two evils, and perhaps Jayne could be persuaded away from her Royalist tendancies.
A great story of war, adventure, love and of course, loss.
