(4,375 Sterne; 8 Bewertungen)
The Protestant Sir John Chester and the Catholic Geoffrey Haredale have been feuding for years. In "Romeo and Juliet" fashion, Chester's son and Haredale's niece wish to marry, but their relatives oppose the union. A tale of love and intrigue set against the historical events of 1780, when an anti-Catholic mob caused more damage to London than had ever been seen before. And the simple young man Barnaby who becomes caught up in events he does not quite understand. (Brad Filippone) (25 hr 26 min)

5 stars for the vivid & gripping account of the "no-Popery" riots and for the characters, including dear Barnaby so beloved by his mother, Hugh & Dennis so different as they face their ultimate end, and that delightful little devil who has the last word. As a conventional romantic melodrama there are probably better, but as realism describing the mindless mob and pityless destruction of a few days time in London 1780 this book is well worth the time.
Good listen

Not my favorite Dickenson book but a good one. The reader is great and brings this work to life.
