Tillyard, Stella

Historian and author (Tides of War) Tillyard’s lyrical novel aptly recounts the dour days of Cromwell, the promise of the Restoration Era, and everyday life during those times, offering something for history buffs and romantics alike.

This sophisticated, unusual portrait of Regency society will appeal to all readers of historical fiction, especially admirers of Bernard Cornwell. [See Prepub Alert, 5/9/11.]—Cynthia Johnson, Cary Memorial Lib., Lexington, MA
