A beautifully written novel about an incredible time in England's

There is so much more I could say about this novel, but I'll finish
with an observation Ruth makes: "People have so many parts it is
impossible to know them all." Clements has done a fine job in
exploring the many parts that make up a person, and a society in
conflict.

a fascinating fictional insight into a turbulent time
