Dawnlands by Philippa Gregory Book Review

“Dawnlands ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read. It is 1685 and England is on the brink of a renewed civil war. King Charles II has died without an heir and his brother James is to take the throne. But the people are bitterly divided, and many do not welcome the new king or his young queen. Ned Ferryman cannot persuade his sister, Alinor, that he is right to return from America with his Pokanoket servant, Rowan, to join the rebel army. Instead, Alinor and her daughter Alys, have been coaxed by the manipulative Livia to save the queen from the coming siege. The rewards are life-changing: the family could return to their beloved Tidelands, and Alinor could rule where she was once lower than a servant. Alinor’s son is determined to stay clear of the war, but, in order to keep his own secrets in the past, Livia traps him in a plan to create an imposter Prince of Wales—a surrogate baby to the queen.

Brief Summary Dawnlands by Philippa Gregory

In addition, Gregory has also brought back Sir James Avery and his beautiful Italian wife/villainess Lady Livia Avery, who has become chief lady-in-waiting to Queen Mary of Modena. If you are like me, you’ll be pleased to know that Livia is as treacherous as ever. There are also a few new characters to discover — some to love, some to hate. Aside from the challenges to the reign of James II, the British version of the battle between Protestants and Catholics, and the growing movement against the Stuart brand of monarchy, there are also story lines that touch on slavery and sugar cane production in the Caribbean Islands, the mass murder of America’s indigenous people, and the growing economic power and influence of worldwide trade.
