Company description
Sometimes, historical novels are more than just corsets, curricles and cant: it may be necessary to include the backcloth, from country houses to current affairs, customs to consciousness all stitched together with language and the law (in real life it is more in our way than supposedly affording us any protection). The Devil hides in those details, and the people in such stories did not live or think as folk do today. As no-one wants to tackle a score of history books before reading a novel set in another time or clime, there needs to be some care taken about a proper setting. Thus, Anne’s novels are long, but carefully worked – and with great pleasure taken in the so-called work, so that it is not ‘work’ at all. Whatever you chuse, dear reader, you should get your money’s worth. So, enjoy...
