Rebels and Traitors

By Lindsey Davis

Book Overview

An epic novel of the turbulent English Civil War seen through the lives of those that fought for peace and struggled for love Set against the terrible struggle of the English Civil War, Rebels and Traitors is the story of how this turbulent era effected everyone, from rich to poor, and the hopes and dreams that carried them through years of deprivation, bloodshed and terror. When Gideon Jukes and Juliana Lovell, who are on opposites sides of the struggle, meet during one of the era's most crucial events, their mutual attraction brings the comfort and companionship for which they both have yearned. But the flowering of radical thought collapses; its failure leads to endless plots and strange alliances. And shadows from the past threaten them individually and together in their hard-won peace. Like Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind and John Jakes' North and South , Lindsey Davis brings to life a turbulent time through the stories of those who struggled, fought, lived and loved on all sides of a defining and devastating time.

Rebels and Traitors. A story as big as the times in which it is set!

I had never read one of Lindsey Davis books ! I’m not even sure why I picked this one except for the fact I like Books on English History, (mainly Fiction with a historical background) but this book grabbed me right away with its period detail and assorted Characters! It’s a wonderful read a truly amazing undertaking that leads you in depth to the English Civil war through Characters who are both good and bad and in the end gives you a astounding love story, placed in a horrible time ! A big book that delivers a story as Big as the time it’s set in !!
