I really wish JSF would write short stories more often. This book is full of wondrous little vignettes and passages that are extraordinary. But it doesn't hang together, and by the end of it I wondered what the point of it was. He is more of a poet who writes in prose. There is a lot to love about this book and I recommend it, but don't expect a masterpiece. It's just pretty and makes you think.

The worst book I've ever read.

MINOR noble Sir Charles Berkeley finds himself thrust into the centre of major events in 1641 as the country teeters on the edge of civil war and the main question facing men is King or Parliament? Berkeley has a military reputation, earned in the recent humiliating war with the Scots, but the hurly-burly of political life in London soon proves more baffling, treacherous and dangerous than any encounter on the battlefield. Mark Turnbull has his finger on the political, military and social pulse at one of the pivotal moments in British history and he effortlessly transports you back to those momentous days.
