Suspected of possessing dark secrets in superstitious times, Alinor’s ambition and determination mark her out from her neighbors. Instead, she meets James, a young man on the run, and shows him the secret ways across the treacherous marsh, not knowing that she is leading disaster into the heart of her life. The struggle reaches every corner of the kingdom, even the remote tidelands -the marshy landscape of the south coast.Īlinor, a descendant of wisewomen, trapped in poverty and superstition, waits in the graveyard under the full moon for a ghost who will declare her free from her abusive husband. Midsummer’s Eve, 1648, England is in the grip of a civil war between renegade king and rebellious parliament. I decided to pick it up on Audible instead of actually picking up a hard copy and I was glad I did because the narrator did a great job and made it very enjoyable to listen it, but that said I wasn’t sure that I loved the book itself. I thought that it sounded like an interesting setting and kind of far removed from what she is most well known for-royal courts.
When I saw that this was her latest book I was eager to check it out.
I felt like I was long overdue for one of her books. I have only read one Philippa Gregory novel and that was ages ago.
