Every time I pick this book up I am taken up and drawn in...... I wish I had read it in less anxious environmental and political times when I would have loved this historical fiction set during the time of Henry VIII. However I'm having trouble reading fiction at all at the moment. So at the moment I am oversensitive and I keep getting pulled up by John Buchan's nonsensical notions. The book description has the quote 'under the blanket of the dark all men are alike and all are nameless' - but actually they are not alike - the blood of some of them comes from 'noble' lines (of violence, greed and butchery[ed]) and in Buchan's head that matters.

The period is the Pilgrimage of Grace. In the country west of Oxford, nobles, clergy and laity await the success of the risings in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire to overthrow Henry VIII and Cromwell. Peter Pentecost is the man they plan to put on the English throne. Although a monk by training, he is the legitimate child of the Duke of Buckingham and the last of the Bohuns. His bid to be crowned and his duel with Henry VIII make for an exciting adventure. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
