The year is 1642 and civil war has broken out between the king and parliament.
Factions are tearing families and friends apart.
But one lady in Dorset, a physician by the name of Jayne Swift refuses to engage in dividing her loyalties or choosing one side over another, especially as her family included support different sides.
Her role is to tend and minister those afflicted with injuries due to the wars, she makes no distinction, parliamentarian or royalist she will attend and treat all.
But she has attracted the notice of a mysterious figure who tries to aid her in her nursing ministrations.
He sees her pure heart but William Harrier has family issues and rifts of his own.
Can they both put aside politics in the quest for true love amidst the battlefields and turmoil of civil war?
I adored this and is my first time reading the author’s works.
Mainly an historical novel, rich in period detail and information with a strong theme of social issues and politics of the day running alongside the love story between Jayne and William.
A brilliant read for history or even just romance fans.
