Giveaway: What Historical Survival Stories Should We Check Out?
This giveaway asking for historical survival stories is sponsored by The Last Hours by Minette Walter.
When the Black Death enters England in 1348, no one knows what manner of sickness it is. Fear grips the people as they come to believe that the plague is a punishment for wickedness.
But Lady Anne of Develish has her own ideas. With her brutal husband absent from the manor when news of this pestilence reaches her, she looks for more sensible ways to protect her people than daily confessions of sin. She decides to bring her serfs inside the safety of the moat that surrounds her manor house, then refuses entry to anyone else, even her husband.
The people of Develish are alive. But for how long?
