The Silver Swan, September 2, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Silver Swan (Thorndike Press Large Print Buckinghams) (Hardcover)
The Silver Swan is part two of the 'Sutton Place' Trilogy. It follows the fated Weston family, this novel being set in England during the eighteenth century. It has its basis in fact.
Melior Mary Weston is the tragic heroine of this novel. She is beautiful and captures the hearts of many men- including the Jacobite Pretender to the throne of England. It involves many twists and turns to the story, and keeps the reader reader inthralled throughout. A definite must for History buffs as it is partly factual and nearly always realistic in terms of historical content.
Many of Lampitt's novels stem from this trilogy with minor charactors and their descendants becoming the stars of the show. They are a delight to read, and piece together- like a large puzzle.Therefore, if you find that you have enjoyed the trilogy, there is the added bonus that you can prolong the magic by reading her other books.
