Seller's Description:
Good in Very Good jacket. First American edition. Good only with front hinge cracked, some pages lightly stained, spine cocked in a very good lightly rubbed dustwrapper. Elizabethan thriller-romance set in the author's beloved Sussex, and like most of those novels revolving around the Alward family: Kate Alward, a young woman forced to dress as a man to flee religious persecution. A subject close to the author's heart, she and her Anglican rector husband both converted to Catholicism. Kaye-Smith is much underrated and her Sussex novels have been occasionally compared to Hardy's Wessex novels.
