Описание: THE BRAND NEW SERIES FROM THE SUNDAY TIMES NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING AUTHOR England 1648. A dangerous time for a woman to be different . .

. Midsummers Eve, 1648, and England is in the grip of civil war between renegade King and rebellious Parliament. The struggle reaches every corner of the kingdom, even to the remote Tidelands - the marshy landscape of the south coast.

Alinor, a descendant of wise women, crushed by poverty and superstition, waits in the graveyard under the full moon for a ghost who will declare her free from her abusive husband. 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. Suspected of possessing dark secrets in superstitious times, Alinors ambition and determination mark her out from her neighbours.

This is the time of witch-mania, and Alinor, a woman without a husband, skilled with herbs, suddenly enriched, arouses envy in her rivals and fear among the villagers, who are ready to take lethal action into their own hands. The unmissable read for Summer 2019. Praise for Philippa Gregory: Popular historical fiction at its finest, immaculately researched and superbly told The Times Philippa Gregory is truly the mistress of the historical novel.

It would be hard to make history more entertaining, lively or engaging Sunday Express Gregory has popularised Tudor history perhaps more than any other living fiction writer . . .

All of her books feature strong, complex women, doing their best to improve their lives in worlds dominated by men Sunday Times Immaculate research, pacy narratives and a stubborn insistence that history is not only about men . . .

a powerful reminder of how precarious the lives of the Tudor women could be Daily Mail
