Product Description
by Russ Hawton (Author)
It is 1656 and Mary returns to Clymestone for the first time in eight years. But not out of choice for she is the unwilling bearer of a message, the content of which she is herself unaware.
It is also the year that Quakers, under the leadership of George Fox, enter Cornwall sowing dissent and inevitably, before long, facing imprisonment. Christina quickly becomes one of the 'convinced', thoroughly captivated by the Quakers' outright rejection of the so-called 'steeplehouses'. And as a result Robert's trusted position at the side of Thomas Gewen becomes increasingly precarious.
This is the fourth and last in the series of novels chronicling the fortunes of the Pellow family living on the Cornish border at the time of the Civil war and Interregnum.
