The Complete Mirrored Sword: Parts One And Two

Combining MIRRORED SWORD PART ONE and MIRRORED SWORD PART TWO, this volume tells the full story of what happens when the world's worst shrew meets its greatest warrior. She is an aspiring painter and devoted Yorkist. He is the legendary but ageing Beast of Ferrybridge - a Lancastrian stalwart! Rebellion in Lincolnshire throws them together, the Yorkist king keeps them together, and thus they must work out their destinies and England's, in an epic story that combines laughter and tears, romance and adventure, history and make-believe, high art and vulgar entertainment: a medieval banquet, loaded with surprises, colourful characters and poetic justice. Students of English literature will appreciate the complexity of the narrative structure, and how well it is adapted to entertain and keep readers in suspense. Set during the Wars of the Roses, it describes a return journey through actual towns and locations, from the wilderness of the fens to the grandeur of medieval St Paul's Cathedral, and from Southwark, London's red-light district, to the perilous waters of the North Sea, all divided into 31 chapters, representing specific dates in February-March 1471. Events are seen from the perspectives of various historical and fictional characters, but with an increasing focus on the viewpoints of hero and heroine, as they struggle to dominate, manipulate, escape and understand one another.
