London, 1647. Lucy Wentnor, having been attacked by soldiers during the Civil War and rejected by her sweetheart, hopes to start afresh with her aunt and uncle in the capital. London, however, is in chaos and her uncle, once a well-to-do mercer, is now almost bankrupt.

Lucy, unwilling to go home, finds a job in one of the few businesses that’s booming: publishing. She is soon assisting in printing pamphlets, an industry which the breakdown of the licensing system and censorship has left free as never before. Remaking her own life, she finds both love and independence in the turbulence of London.

During the English Civil War in a completely believable manner. It was a pleasure to spend time with a young working class woman who met her obstacles with brave determination. Before encountering Stella Riley’s books I knew absolutely nothing about the English Civil War. Those books enhanced my enjoyment of London in Chains. Looking forward to reading more by Gillian Bradshaw.
