Description

Turtle Soup for the King: A Gripping Tale of Rebellion and Survival. In February 1820, a group of men, driven by hunger and rage, hatched a plan to assassinate the British Cabinet. Led by Arthur Thistlewood, their committee's ambitions were fueled by the Peterloo massacre of August 1819. Judy Meewezen brings to life the story of these individuals, whose struggles for universal suffrage are often overlooked in history. Through meticulous research and creative immersion, Meewezen reconstructs the events leading up to the Cato Street Conspiracy. Her beautifully told narrative makes the conspiracy both bizarre and understandable, shedding light on a pivotal moment in British history. With painstaking attention to detail, she weaves together fact and fiction, creating a compelling portrait of a bygone era. With its meticulously researched and engaging narrative, Turtle Soup for the King is a fascinating account of a lesser-known chapter in British history.
