Description:

Join FreeChoice Reads Wicked Mistress YaleThe Parting GlassIn his ninth novel, the third of a trilogy, David Ebsworth continues the story of Catherine Yale, wife of nabob, philanthropist – and slave trader – Elihu Yale. A political thriller and family saga, very much in the tradition of Winston Graham’s Poldark but the setting for this chapter of the Yale story is early 18th Century London, Wales and northern England during the turmoil of Queen Anne’s reign and, later, the 1715 Jacobite Rebellion. The diaries of our protagonist, Catherine, take us at breathless speed through the early years of the eighteenth century, narrated with a delightfully sardonic eye for character and detail. She is living at the sharp end of history and she is not a woman to mess with.  The book is brilliantly researched, packed with fascinating  detail, a wonderful evocation of the period.

Read More Marianne Tambour – the MusicI hope that there are sections of The Last Campaign of Marianne Tambour that readers can “hear” as they turn the pages, and particularly those that detail some of the French Napoleonic army’s music. Singing and band music were an integral part of army life, so here we have some of the tunes, the songs, the drum and trumpet calls that would have been everyday sounds for the Emperor’s soldiers.
