Book Beginnings: A Divided Inheritance by Deborah Swift

 

Pan

24 October 2013

 A family divided by fortune. A country divided by faith.

London 1609...

London, September 1599

Magdalena was afraid to sleep in case she did not wake. She was thinking of her sons; of Zachary in particular. How to convince him. There would be a chance, if only he'd sit still long enough to listen

 .... 

I am already intrigued by Magdalena and wonder why she is afraid to sleep and why out of her sons we are only told the name of one of them - why is Zachary so special and why can he not sit still for long - what makes him restless....

Deborah Swift is fast becoming one of my favourite historical novelists and I look forward with eager anticipation to immersing myself in her latest Jacobean adventure.
