Description
The Winding Stair by Jesse Norman In the final days of Queen Elizabeth I's reign, two men vie for power and influence in the new Jacobean court. Francis Bacon, with his brilliant mind, and Edward Coke, already acclaimed as the greatest lawyer of his generation, engage in a bitter struggle that will shape the course of history. This gripping novel brings to life the palaces, parlours, parliaments, and royal courts of Elizabethan and Jacobean England, offering a unique glimpse into the lives, thoughts, and deeds of its protagonists. With humour, wit, and imagination, Norman combines deep research with compelling storytelling, creating an epic tale of jealousy and intrigue that holds a darkened mirror to our own contemporary politics. A masterful synthesis of history and fiction, The Winding Stair is a captivating novel that breathes the air of the late Elizabethan and Jacobean court.
