Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a vivid vignette of life in late-Medieval England during the Wars of the Roses conflict between rival factions of York and Lancaster. The author places the focus on the home life of a simple tradesman and his family, the Tankervilles. Ralph, the young protagonist, epitomizes the courage and desperation of the civilian population during a time of bitter strife. Against the backdrop of his father's absence at war and the death of his mother, Ralph's earlier life as a young noble, accustomed to privilege and entitlement, sharply contrasts with his present circumstances. Now forced by harsh realities to accept the protection of his uncle, a staunch Yorkist, Ralph must come to terms with the loss of his former status and adapt to the company of tradesmen. The narrative highlights the depth of social division that characterized the era and explores how ordinary people struggled to navigate the complexities of divided loyalties and personal safety during these turbulent times. The book subtly underscores the essential humanity of its characters, their resilience, and the ways in which their lives are shaped and tested by a society riven by civil war.
