Synopsis

When Gideon Jones and Juliana Lovell, who are on opposite sides of the English Civil War, meet during one of the era's most crucial events, they share a mutual attraction, but when the war takes a turn for the worse, endless plots, strange alliances and shadows from the past threaten to tear them apart. By the best-selling author of Alexandria.

About this title

Review:

'Davies is a prolific and popular writer, with a wide following for her thrillers set in the classical world. This is something different, large-scale and very ambitious. The word "epic" is overused, but this book deserves it. Davies never forgets that this is not the "English" civil war, but a conflict fought in Wales, Ireland and Scotland as well ... Her research has been assiduous and detailed, her commitment to the subject is impressive, and the background detail is often eye-opening.' (The Observer)

'Every now and then along comes a historical novel with such scope and ambition that it takes your breath away ... So it is appropriate that Lindsey Davis's monumental English Civil War epic, Rebels and Traitors, is billed as the equivalent of Margaret Mitchell's American blockbuster Gone With The Wind ... Rebels and Traitors is as much an informative history lesson as a gripping historical novel and Davis spares us none of the terrible realities of this disastrous war – the slaughter of innocents, the break-up of families, the shattered dreams and the desperate struggle to survive. A magnificent evocation of time and place.' (Lancashire Evening Post)

Book Description:

Rebels and Traitors is an absolute epic masterpiece with poignant and convincing characterisation and razor-sharp historical realism.
