Dynasty 17: The Poison Tree
- Narrated by: Terry Wale
It was 1831. As Britain emerged from its post-war depression, the country was changing, and the introduction of the Reform Act brought Britain to the brink of a revolution. Violent times spawn acts of violence, both outside and within the Morland family. Sophie’s life is shattered by a heinous crime. Rosamund knows that achieving her dreams brings as much pain as there is joy. Heloise, mourn her beloved James, take control of Morland Place falling into chaos. Benedict must flee his home and earn a living among railroad pioneers, while Nicholas now has the freedom to satisfy the dark side of his nature. And among them, all lurk the deadly, invisible threat of cholera.
Great story, well told. I was very disappointed to learn that the story wouldn’t make it to modern times.
I’ve been reading the Morland series for almost 30 years now. I read and re-read them periodically and find them amusing. The books are extremely well researched and packed with factual historical information and details, and also feature very well-rounded characters – especially the women. from the founder, Eleanor, to Annunciata, Jemima, Lucy, Heloise, Rosamund… a long line of strong, well-educated women is central throughout the novels.
The books are amazing – Cynthia Harrod Eagle will have to travel into the future as she has arrived today – the series just can’t be stopped!
I was completely absorbed in these books. They are written in a similar style to how I write my own. Easy to follow and very informative.
I am looking forward to discovering the future developments in the story, and keenly anticipating whether the wicked heir will receive his deserved punishment. The saga of the Morland family over numerous centuries is truly an extraordinary and magnificent tale.
