At the end of the 15th century, English politics were dark and depressing. War, rebellion, and the arrival of the pretenders to the throne. It’s all here and brought to vivid life in a story I found immensely readable. There’s the dark and the light, with execution, death, murder and misery. But also humour, adventure, love and romance. Not much missing really. Definitely a book I sat reading until I fell asleep sitting up. This is a lot more than your average historical blockbuster, and it really pulled me in. ( ) Raunchy, violent, fast moving, this story zings along. Set shortly after the War of the Roses, there is political intrigue galore, complete with Plantagenet princes, treason, hangings, murder, beheading, mayhem aplenty. A good rollicking read, long book at 500+ pages, but well written and great reading. SUMERFORD’S AUTUMN by Barbara Gaskell Denvil is a exciting Medieval historical fiction set in 1485 England. Fast paced,adventure with twists and turns you want see coming. Written with vivid descriptions and a cast of characters that will take your breathe away. “Sumerford’s Autumn” is the story of four brothers of an earl,his countess,an old castle,Somerset,and their secrets.

Four brothers, four paths... One heir Ludovic, the Earl of Sumerford's youngest son, is a slave to his station in life. With three older brothers and an indifferent father, his chances of inheritance are slim and he has taken to a life of secret smuggling as his only source of wealth. Suddenly the court of Henry VII is in uproar. As the first Tudor on the throne, the king's rule is in question with other claimants to the crown. Ludovic's elder brother is convinced that the 'pretender' Perkin Warbeck is the rightful king and gradually draws Ludovic into the conspiracy, one that means certain death if their treason is discovered. Meanwhile the House of Sumerford is one of brooding unease - each of the four brothers has their own dark agenda and they'll do anything to protect their secrets. Yet amid the conflict, Ludovic finds love, unexpected and passionate. Alysson is not his match, but he is determined to find a way. But danger finds him first. Facing arrest, imprisonment and torture on the rack, Ludovic seems likely to lose his very minor fortune, his barely awakening romance, and possibly even his worthless life. Only fate will determine who is left standing. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
