Synopsis
An epic love story set in the period of Music and Silence, for readers of Rose Tremain and Philippa Gregory. 1639. Zeal Beester, mistress of the rolling Hampshire estate of Hawkridge, is pregnant, unwed, and the King has banished her lover to the New World. The Puritan Praise-God Gifford will have her burnt at the stake for depravity. To save herself and the child, Zeal becomes the wife of Philip Wentworth, an ageing soldier and adventurer. But Philip's extraordinary tales of El Dorado only remind her of her exiled lover. As the chaos of Civil War approaches, Zeal begins to rebuild Hawkridge House as the Memory Palace and the secret map of her heart. Part maze, part theatre, part great country house, it enrages the Puritans and inspires in one twisted soul a hatred and envy that only death will satisfy. Should the King be killed, Zeal's lover may return only to find Zeal and the child in their graves...

Journal Entry 3 by Caterinaanna from Coventry, West Midlands United Kingdom on Wednesday, January 10, 2007
Passed on to me by safrolistics last Tuesday after hunting it down on her wishlist. Forgot to journal before - too busy reading it! :o)

More of a straightforward historical romance than either of the first two - at least until the end when it it suddenly has overtones of John Fowles' 'The Magus'. Once again, there are a few inconsistencies, but they were fewer and less jarring this time. Enjoyable conclusion to the series and on it's way to expand candy-is-dandy's Mount TBR bookpile when I next do a parcelling session.
