Well Worth The Read - Rated
I really enjoyed this book, I thought the story was exciting and it kept me up during the night to see what else might happen. Thoroughly nasty pieces of work with a real women of character. Couldn't wait to follow the story onto the next generation.
I recommend this book to anyone with a stressful life who wants to escape for a bit !!
Cornwell takes a different tack! - Rated
This book is unusual for Bernard Cornwell novel, as the central character is not a soldier or a warrior and is in fact female. This however does not prevent A Crowing Mercy from being a thoroughly exciting and enthralling tale (and this is typical of Cornwell). Initially I picked up this book with a great deal of apprehension, as I felt it might disappoint when compared to later novels by the author. My concrens were dismissed from the start and I was hooked from beggining to end.
The novel follows Dorcas, known as Campion through life growing up in a strict puritan family, to running away from home during the English Civil War. The tale is filled with passion, intrigue and action as campion attempts to track down her unknown father and unravel the mysterious legacy he left her.
On the whole this is a fascinating book and well worth picking up if you like historical novels and even if your not normally a fan of Cornwell.
Amazing - Rated
I read this after the first two Starbuck novels and was thoroughly impressed.
Love, secrets and betrayal all play a part in this wonderful story that kept me gripped from start to finish.
Not as good as his later works - Rated
You can tell this is by a younger Cornwell - the characters are less rounded and interesting than in his later novels and are rather simplistic stereotypes - the innocent young girl, dashing Cavalier hero, strict Puritan father, strict and sadistic Puritan brother.
