| Running Horse Inn |
A tragic novel of hatred and revenge, opening with the return of a Peninsular soldier to the inn near Heme Bay on the day his brother marries his old love.
The character drawing is strong, and rural life in the times just after Waterloo is rendered with truth and good humour.
More than a glimpse is had of the unrest with which England was seething, and the Spa Fields riot of 1816 comes into the story.
