This is a somewhat romantic historical novel, written during the Second World War, so the writing style may be a little bit heavier than modern readers might be used to. That said, it does move along pretty well, mainly when there are exciting personal-level plots like breaking people out of jail, rather than talking about the battles and campaigns. Wellington makes several appearances, and I definitely pictured him as Hugh Fraser because of the Sharpe series. I cringed somewhat at Francis’s love for Gabrielle because it was a very possessive love (saying she “belonged” to him), but she certainly holds her own. As for other female characters, Francis’s aunt Francilea was my favourite, because she brooked no nonsense and supported her nephew in his work.
I’m not sure if I would re-read this, but I would certainly read other books by Costain (which is good, because I have two more of his books on my shelf). ( )
