Dynasty 15: The Reckoning
- The Moreland Dynasty, Book 15
- Narrated by: Terry Wale
It was 1816. Napoleon was finally defeated, but the victory did not bring peace to the British. The costs of war were deeply ingrained in the country – inflation raged, demobilized soldiers joined the ranks of the unemployed, wages tumbled and bread prices skyrocketed – and starving men were easily provoked to protest.
In the midst of this chaos, Heloise and James stand to protect Morland Place – for its spirit as well as its good fortune – when a tragic accident strikes at the heart of the family, taking away the one person they all depend on. On top of that, a devastating scandal has brought the Morland name into the spotlight, so Sophie and Rosamund are forced to learn the difference between real love and its fascinating but dangerous illusion.
The Morland Dynasty series is excellent. I recommend starting with the first book and getting “engrossed” in the history, characters, and time period. The stories are mainly based on women, however, the writer’s talent is relevant to the point of view of each moment in British history. Of course, the family grows with children, animals and friends living the same joys, sorrows and everyday events. There are over 30 stories in the series so it’s for the “long-distance” reader – oh, one of these books always accompanies me on vacations or car trips. Morlands is a family that became my friends.
Have read the entire Morland family chronicle and enjoyed all the books. Believe me this is 16th out of 35. There are great characters (some not pretty at all) and I feel like I’m learning a lot about British history. The poor classes are treated so unfairly that I want to read about the positive changes in the next book.
Cynthia Harrod-Eagles is simply amazing. I cannot begin to understand how she has produced such consistently excellent books with so many voices and set in so many eras. The Reckaming continues the story of the Morland Dynasty with all the detail, depth and quality of the previous books in the series. This series is a fascinating contribution to understanding British history and humanity.
