Gillian Tindall Journal of a Man Unknown Paperback Book

Tindalls voice is richly her own tender but unsentimental and lit by intimate knowledge of her chosen world. Colin Thubron Culminating a distinguished career spanning more than 60 years, historian Gillian Tindall has written a novel as her final statement. In an astonishing feat of literary imagination, she projects herself back onto one of her forebears to conjure a compelling vision of 17th century England. By trade, the main character is a metal founder, an occupation that leads him from the villages of Sussex to the bell foundry in Spitalfields. This is a hymn to those who pass through life not leaving a trace, except in the hearts of those into whose lives they have been cast. | Gillian Tindall Journal of a Man Unknown Paperback Book
