Loved this old historical fiction with its setting just after the English Civil War with Jeffreys and the brutal, unjust aftermath of the “rebellion.” No historian can whitewash the travesties of justice that occurred with Jeffreys promoted to Chancellor, and this is what happens when an upright English Protestant family—who didn't even take part in the uprising—is caught in some of the aftermath. I also enjoyed the subplot with Simone and loved getting a glimpse of the Cornish coast of long ago.
Got my ebook copy from Project Gutenberg and will be on the lookout for a hard copy.
