23 - 29 June 2025 - Broad Chalke, Salisbury
Included
1685 England – the country is torn by rebellion. The Protestant Duke of Monmouth, Charles II’s illegitimate son, arrives in Dorset to incite rebellion against his Catholic uncle, King James II. After Monmouth’s defeat, those captured face brutal executions. As the bloody tide of retribution looms, Lady Jayne Harrier and her son, aided by a mysterious magistrate’s daughter, risk everything to save the condemned. Minette Walters will be taking us on a gripping journey of deception, compassion, and defiance in the shadow of vengeance.
