Review
"This is a novel that wears its learning lightly. The extensive research is woven seamlessly into the plot and illuminates the setting" (Philippa Gregory Independent)
"This is a marvellously vivid and enterataining evocation of Cromwellian and Restoration England. Mount paints from a rich palette, but the brushwork is stylishly economical... When is a historical novel not a historical novel? When it is written by Ferdinand Mount. He is in danger of giving the genre a good name'" (Ian McIntyre The Times)
"The story smoothly takes in the Dutch wars, the Plague and Fire... It includes hellish episodes in a groaning Bedlam, as well as sylvan scenes of sport and the superior delights of the metropolis... Mount gives JEM a fluent, allusive prose with a period flavour that avoids pastiche...vivid...powerful" (Sunday Times)
Synopsis
The fictional memoirs of Jeremiah Mount, a clerk in Oliver Cromwell's government, describe how, along with co-worker and sometime rival Samuel Pepys, he pursues worldly success and erotic whims in tumultuous seventeenth-century London. Reprint.
