'Ackroyd has come up with an almost seamless work, one which earns its place on the same shelf as the best of his literary fantasies' - Guardian
What if John Milton, Cromwell's secretary, anticipating the King's return to London, had decided to flee England in order to avoid imprisonment or death? What if he had crossed the ocean and joined the Puritans recently settled in New England? From this idea Peter Ackroyd creates an enthralling story of conflict, treachery, hypocrisy and greed.
