About
the book:
Some
fly to war. Others flee it. No one is safe.
When the British army is sent into Spain to help expel
Napoleon’s invaders, nothing goes as expected. Not for London newsman Sam Kerr,
hunting a story that will win him the editor’s chair, who discovers one that
could wreck his career. Not for the Wakefield family, loyalist refugees from
America seeking peace among people of their faith, who find war has followed
them even here. And certainly not for the British troops, whose mission of
support turns into a fight for all their lives. Historical fiction set in
Corunna 1808.
PRAISE FOR
AN UNTITLED LADY
“Penttila shows a deft hand with complex, believable characterizations
that accurately reflect the historical period.”– Publishers Weekly
“The social turmoil in Manchester leading to the Peterloo Massacre
of 1819 is the unusual setting for Penttila’s quietly stunning, memorable
debut novel. A very highly recommended book.”– Historical Novel Society
ABOUT THE
AUTHOR
Nicky Penttila writes stories with adventure, ideas,
history, and love. She enjoys coming up with stories that are set in faraway
cities and countries, because then she *must* travel there, you know, for
research. She lives in Maryland with her reading-mad husband and amazing rescue
cat.

ReplyDeleteI have just read non fiction books about Napoleon and his brother as ruler in Spain. This looks like an exciting story. Thank you for the chance.
