It's difficult to reconcile what happened there with the beauty of the landscape, but I suppose this is true of all battlefields. The Welsh Marches was always a more popular setting for historical novels than the Scottish Borders.

According to the book description it covers the months April to September of 1513. But I agree there is a lack of books covering this period which surprises me given that it was such a pivotal time in history.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12797472921494448162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56990235266072816.post-44557963551451189592015-06-21T07:31:55.882+10:002015-06-21T07:31:55.882+10:00I read this last year and enjoyed it, especially a...I read this last year and enjoyed it, especially as I live near the borders (on the English side) and there are not enough books set in this part of the country!
