We can always expect a good book from Antonia Fraser; and in The Gunpowder Plot she excelled herself. He was caught, the others were killed. The author also vividly portrays the world of the recusant Catholics such as Lady Vaux, risking themselves and their families for the sake of 'a Mass in the corner'.

About this product

Product Information

With a narrative that grips the reader like a detective story, Antonia Fraser brings the characters and events of the Gunpowder Plot to life. Dramatically recreating the conditions and motives that surrounded the fateful night of 5 November 1605, she unravels the tangled web of religion and politics that spawned the plot. 'Told with impressive scholarship and panache The result is a narrative that is clear, balanced, and builds to its denouement with a sense of pace and tension worthy of a John le Carre novel' John Adamson, Sunday Telegraph
