“If you love historical drama…then look no further.”

—Boston Globe


Bernard Cornwell, the perennial New York Times bestselling author of the Richard Sharpe series and “perhaps the greatest writer of historical adventure novels today” (Washington Post) joins co-author Susannah Kells for A Crowning Mercy—a breathtaking romantic adventure set against the dramatic backdrop of the English Civil War. The exciting story of a rebellious Puritan woman on a perilous quest for love and fortune, A Crowning Mercy is a must for Cornwell fans as well as for devoted readers of Sharon Kay Penman and Diana Gabaldon.

One of the best books-and best Audible books-I’ve ever read/listened to. It has everything! A love story, an adventure, despicable villains, the beauty of friendship. Everything! I loved every second of it and recommended it as highly as possible! Franklin, the narrator was utterly superb! Bravo!

One of the BEST listens EVER!!

I enjoyed the book and the performance was great. It wasn’t overly historical but I did enjoy it. I tend to be a harsh critic but I would recommend.

Worth the credit
