Books like The shadow flies by Rose Macaulay


A historical romance set in the years just before the English Civil War. While cleverly avoiding the descriptions of actual executions or bloody battle scenes, it nevertheless carries a brilliant picture of the lives, fears, anxieties and social customs of the daily lives of ordinary people in a small village in Devonshire. In Cambridge, we get a vivid idea of the humming intellectual life and political and religious upheaval of the time.
