Helen Hollick · An historical fiction anthology on the theme of exile
Historical Stories of Exile
Exile: a risky defiance, a perilous journey, a family's tragic choice - or an individual's final gamble to live. Exile: voluntary or enforced, a falling-out between friends, a lost first love, a prejudiced betrayal - or the only way to survive persecution?
In this historical fiction anthology thirteen authors have written exclusive short stories on the theme of exile. Some are based on true history, others are speculative fiction. All mine the depths of human emotions: fear, hope, love, and the fortitude to survive. As an exclusive treat, special guest author Elizabeth Chadwick reveals a tale about the 12th-century heiress Isabelle de Clare and the Greatest Knight, William Marshal. With an introduction by multi-award-winning author Deborah Swift.
