[A] delightfully seditious heroine... Proof that a historical novel can be educational and entertaining, and nothing like homework." -- O, The Oprah Magazine London, 1649: King Charles has been beheaded for treason, Cromwell is in power, the Levelers are demanding rights for the people, and a new law targeting unwed mothers presumes anyone who conceals the death of her illegitimate child is guilty of murder. Glovemaker Rachel Lockyer is locked in a secret affair. But while her lover is imprisoned in the Tower, a child is found buried in the woods. Rachel is arrested. So comes an investigation, a trial, and an extraordinary cast of characters all brought to reckon for this one life. Spinning within is a remarkable love story and evidence that miracles come to even the commonest lives. "The best kind of historical fiction -- a combination of love story and murder mystery, with a sprinkling of intriguing historical snippets and wonderful writing." -- Library Journal, starred review "[A] marvelous story written in searing prose. Don't miss it!" -- Sheri Holman "Heart-poundingly vivid [and] intellectually provocative . . . A romping good read . . . Historical fiction at its best." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review | ||
