Reviews

‘An absorbing read with a mix of history, emotion, ambition, suspense and soul searching’

Michael Bywaters

‘A great yarn. Douglas Westcott is a natural storyteller who very successfully weaves Bath’s history into a page turning tale.’

Michael Symons

“A young man buffeted by world events is left reeling, but survives to build his own empire in Bath. The ancient city has seen it all and has her own cards to play...  Douglas Westcott writes from experience of the chaos of history, business, and wild passions in this gripping trilogy.”

Tom Craigmyle

‘Another enthralling chapter in this tale of Bath, during a period of dramatic change and development.’

Roger Palmer
