The story begins on Sunday, 23 August 1662, when nonconformist ministers across England were ejected from their pulpits. Told largely by the daughter of one such minister in a Somerset village, it follows her family, their neighbours and two boys of very different fortunes into the Monmouth rebellion and the cruel aftermath of the Bloody Assizes.
