In April 1814, the year of the great frost, London turns out to cheer Louis XVIII on his way to the French throne. Against that backdrop Zachariah Coleman, a devout Dissenting printer, is drawn into radical politics, the Blanketeers’ march and the poverty of post-war England, before the story moves to a Nonconformist chapel in a later generation.
A quietly powerful novel of faith and politics, admired by readers from D. H. Lawrence onward. Download the free EPUB.
