Details
Written in 1983 when Margaret Thatcher was Prime Minister, and set in 1660, when England's brief experiment with Republicanism ended with the restoration of the monarchy. A raucous treat for the senses - Barker's brutal, poetic, and gruesome Restoration tale of kings' whores, bankers' gold, and a widow's quest to salvage a life from the debris and chaos of England at War. Oh. And her husband's body parts... As she is forced to react in a world of shifting loyalty, trust, power, and money, she discovers that the court of Charles II is as dirty and dangerous as any battlefield.
