3 Great Historical Novels

by Fay Weldon
Kylie Fitzpatrick
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Here are three great historical novels in one volume.
HABITS OF THE HOUSE: Fay Weldon takes us inside an aristocratic household — upstairs and downstairs — in the last three months of the nineteenth century. Tea gowns are still laced with diamonds; there are still nine courses at dinner, but bankruptcy, war and social unrest loom.
THE SILVER THREAD: London, 1840. A young woman boards a prison ship bound for the other side of the world. Weaving death, love and adventure, The Silver Thread is plotted like a murder mystery, but narrated with the skill and style of a literary storyteller.
THE CONDUCTOR: Winter, 1941. The story of how Shostakovich and one valiant, bedraggled orchestra created a defining moment in the siege of Leningrad – the bloodiest seige in history – is a gripping testament to the life-affirming power of music.
