( ) Approached with high hopes, after reading and enjoying 'The Firemaster's Mistress', but this novel doesn't quite hit the mark. Part of a trilogy of three supposedly stand-alone novels containing the same characters, it probably helps to get the full story, but I found it hard to connect with Zeal (great name, though). The building of the 'memory palace' as monument to and measure of her true love's lasting devotion was also a little contrived. Christie Dickason continues to weave with ease historical accuracy - the English Civil War - into her fantastical romances, but Zeal and John did not capture my imagination like Francis Quoynt (who makes a cameo appearance here) and Kate Peach. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

An epic love story set in the period of Music and Silence, for readers of Rose Tremain and Philippa Gregory. 1639. Zeal Beester, mistress of the rolling Hampshire estate of Hawkridge, is pregnant, unwed, and the King has banished her lover to the New World. The Puritan Praise-God Gifford will have her burnt at the stake for depravity. To save herself and the child, Zeal becomes the wife of Philip Wentworth, an ageing soldier and adventurer. But Philip's extraordinary tales of El Dorado only remind her of her exiled lover. As the chaos of Civil War approaches, Zeal begins to rebuild Hawkridge House as the Memory Palace and the secret map of her heart. Part maze, part theatre, part great country house, it enrages the Puritans and inspires in one twisted soul a hatred and envy that only death will satisfy. Should the King be killed, Zeal's lover may return only to find Zeal and the child in their graves... Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
