Lord Barnham's Trilogy

By: Lizzie Church

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

These three books – ‘Mr Forster’s Fortune,’ ‘The Girl from Red Lion Square’ and ‘Mr Halliwell’s Mission’ – follow the lives and loves of several young people from the privileged English upper class during the nine years of the Regency, 1811 to 1820. Whilst each of the novels has its own particular ‘feel’ and perspective, all of them are packed full of period detail, rich characterisation and some startling parallels between the world of 200 years ago, and today. If you enjoy elegant writing, subtle humour, evocative descriptions and characters who are deeply human and who can think for themselves, you will almost certainly appreciate ‘Lord Barnham’s Trilogy’. These books are for those of us who enjoy reading for the pleasure of getting immersed in another world – its sights, its smells, its noises – and for the pleasure of identifying with the responses of people remarkably like ourselves to all the challenges and opportunities that their world had to offer.
