Blood for Blood recounts the
story of the latter stages of the English Civil War when the country was out to
seek revenge on those who continued to wreak havoc on a country torn apart by
bloodshed.
What then follows is an interesting account of a troubled and
dangerous period in English history.
The story starts well, the narrative
flows, and there are enough twists and turns in plot to make interesting
reading. The story of revenge is well thought out and whilst the two male
protagonists are very different men, they are each principled in their own way
and their very differences will forever pit them against each other. The inclusion
into the story of the rise in witchcraft mania adds an extra dimension; to what
is in effect a story of bloodshed, revenge and maniacal retribution on a grand
scale.
It is obvious that the author has
spent considerable time and energy in researching this period in history and
writes with great enthusiasm.
My thanks to the author for sharing this debut novel with me .
