- Synopsis
- Building upon the few facts that are known about the life of Lucy Walters, Elizabeth Goudge creates a monumental novel about passion, loyalty, betrayal, and forgiveness, set against the background of the English civil war. Born in Roch Castle on the wild coast of Wales, Lucy Walter is secretly married to young Prince Charles when both are in their teens. England is in upheaval, and the monarchy has fallen as Cromwell's Parliamentarians seize control. King Charles I is executed and his son flees to the Continent to rally support and gain the throne. Through all the turmoil, Lucy moves from city to city in Holland, France, and Belgium, trying to be near her husband and struggling to care for their son. Her life is populated with secret enemies, unsuspected perils, and wise and loyal friends.
