Hilary Mantel, a gifted narrative historian, is known for her eloquence, grace, and wit. Her stories are the ones that we all should know.
The 17th century was a time of significant historical events, including climate change, colonialism, puritanism, populism, witch hunts, and war. One of the most notable events of this period was the Siege of Basing House in Hampshire, which lasted for over two years and became a symbol of royalist defiance and a microcosm of the wider conflict.
In her book, The Siege of Loyalty House, award-winning historian Jessie Childs weaves a thrilling tale of war and peace, terror and faith, savagery and civilization. Drawing on unpublished manuscripts and the voices of dozens of soldiers and civilians, Childs creates a vivid and compelling account of this significant historical event.
Reviewers have praised The Siege of Loyalty House for its extraordinary, thrilling, and immersive qualities. Simon Schama described it as "almost Tolstoyan in its emotional intelligence and literary power." Antonia Fraser praised it as "beautifully written and gripping from first page to last," while Peter Frankopan called it "deeply researched" and "wonderfully poetic." Charles Spencer, Spectator, praised it for successfully bringing the ghastliness of the period to life, dramatically, vividly, and with pathos.
