The headsman's daughter

The opening of 'The Headman's Daughter' is immediately engaging as we see into the minds of three men as they trundle towards their execution with vivid description, such as 'impotent rage curdles into self-pity'. We're quickly moved to the executioner and his sons, with fascinating insights into their peculiar profession, as they wait in the square, and his daughter Alice who just so happens to be involved with one of the prisoners, James De Fries.

I loved this book. It is a tremendously involving story and it is beautifully written.
