Daphne du Maurier, The King's General She reminded me of something, and suddenly I knew. I was a tiny child again at Radford, my uncles home, and he was walking me through the glass-houses in the gardens. There was one flower, an orchid, that grew alone; it was the colour of pale ivory, with one little vein of crimson running through the petals. The scent filled the house, honeyed, and sickly sweet. It was the loveliest flower I had ever seen. I stretched out my hand to stroke the soft velvet sheen, and swiftly my uncle pulled me by the shoulder. Dont touch it, child. The stem is poisonous.... but fate and circumstance had made me no more than a shadow in his life, a phantom of what might have been Daphne du Maurier, The King's General
Some very complex, interesting characters and a well written narrative of the lives of some loyalist at the time of the English revolution .I could not put it down once started. It will stay on my mind for a while because of the ending and one minor character. This was easy to give 5 stars, no doubt about it.
