Description
Highway by Anna Quicke tells the story of Nick 'Quicke' Nevison, a young man from poverty-stricken Yorkshire who seeks adventure and wealth in 17th-century London. He becomes entangled with a gang of outlaws known as the 'Knights of the Road', forcing him to confront his revulsion at their actions. As Nick navigates this new world, he finds himself drawn to two women from different backgrounds: Elisabetha and Hester. Their company and arms offer him a sense of belonging, but also create uncertainty about his future. Against the backdrop of historical events such as the fall of Cromwell, the Great Fire of London, and the Black Death, this novel explores life in 17th-century England. A passionate tale of love, loss, and survival, Highway spans the complexities of a tumultuous era, bringing to life the lives of those living through it.
