There are love affairs, betrayals, and political intrigue, all set against the backdrop of the English Civil War. As the winter wears on, tensions rise and the fate of the Hall hangs in the balance.The Hall of Chavenlay: A Winter's Tale of 1649 is a gripping historical novel that brings to life a fascinating period in English history.
