Description
London in the 17th Century comes alive in Deborah Swift's Entertaining Mr Pepys. Based on events depicted in the famous Diary of Samuel Pepys, this novel brings to life the vibrant characters of the day, including the diarist himself and actress Nell Gwynne. When Elizabeth 'Bird' Carpenter is persuaded to marry horse-dealer Christopher Knepp, she suspects a union beneath her station. However, nothing prepares her for the harsh reality of life with Knepp, who cares only for his horses and allows Bird no life of her own. It is then that Bird discovers her passion for music and theatre, and with the encouragement of her maidservant Livvy, she makes a secret visit to the stage. As Bird navigates the glamour and intrigue of the theatre, she must use all her wit and intelligence to change Knepp's mind and forge a path of her own. With its dazzling finale during the Great Fire Of London, Entertaining Mr Pepys is a gripping tale that will keep you enthralled until the very end. Pages: 464; Binding: Paperback
