With breathtaking imagination, Ben Jeapes has wrenched the familiar flow of English history out of its course and made it into something else, somethign entirely other.

This is an extraordinary and thrilling novel, entirely original, and based in one of the most interesting periods of English history. Read about what MIGHT have happened in the seventeenth century - life could have been very different for us all. Prepare to be astounded. History will never be the same again.
