Description
The King's Jockey by Lesley Gray is a thought-provoking novel that explores the complexities of responsibility and loyalty in a world on the cusp of change. Inspired by the life of royal jockey Herbert 'Bertie' Jones, this story delves into the dramatic events surrounding his collision with Emily Wilding Davison 100 years ago. Set against the backdrop of traditional values evolving, the novel considers the issues of sacrifice and belief. Until now, Bertie Jones has been a footnote in history books, but this book sheds new light on his life and the circumstances that led to this pivotal moment. Through its exploration of individual roles, family dynamics, and societal expectations, The King's Jockey offers a nuanced examination of the human experience during a time of great upheaval.
