Katherine Ferrers is a young orphan – growing up in the turbulent period of the English Civil War; she has little choice but to marry for the sake of her family and to trust her considerable inheritance into the care of her husband. As the war comes to an end, and those who supported the losing King are punished severely, Katherine finds herself with no money, few friends, and a house that has become a prison. Wishing for a life away from her cold, oft absent husband, Katherine meets a man who changes her life, with Katherine choosing to join him in a life that provides her with the excitement she craves – and yet may prove all too dangerous…
Huge thanks to the publishers for the copy – I will be seeking out the author's back catalogue pronto!
For further reading – I was initially reminded of Maria McCann’s ''As Meat Loves Salt'' – a book about people driven to very different extremes by the English Civil War. [[The Confession of Katherine Howard by Suzannah Dunn]] also suggested itself – a piece of wonderfully drawn historical fiction that depicts yet another woman making difficult and dangerous decisions in order to survive. You might also like [[Sealskin by Su Bristow]].
