About this book
In the spring of 1644, civil war casts a shadow over an English village and the Drury family's moated home. Harry returns to Hayslope Grange to an affectionate welcome, but his father's fierce loyalty to the King makes Harry's troubled silence conspicuous. Maud Harcourt, who has grown up in the household, urges him to be truthful without fully understanding the choice weighing on him.
Emma Leslie's historical story for younger readers brings public conflict into family prayers, private conversations and marriage plans. Maud offers sympathy to neighbours who have suffered losses in the war, while Captain Stanhope's proposals expose the role of pride in courtship. Mary sees changing her name as a way to escape the disgrace she associates with Harry's departure.
