On the 23 rd of October 1642, the opening battle of the English Civil War took place near Edgehill. The closest village to the fighting was Radway. Its inhabitants suffered enormously, at the time and for years after. The civil war tore friends and families apart, and left England in a state of ruin. This story centres upon the dramatic, painful, bloody and sometimes shambolic events of that day and the lasting consequences. It narrates the fate and fortune of the villagers and two officers on opposite sides, and how their lives were turned upside down. Yet, even in the midst of conflict love can flicker, but can it survive? Chris England is a retired teacher who taught in Berkshire. He recently moved to a small South Warwickshire village close to Edgehill. His two passions are Literature and History. His desire to write a novel was kick-started when he discovered the fascinating local history on his doorstep. This is his first novel although he has written poetry for over forty years.
