They move to a pretty garden-house in London, but she struggles to adjust to her new life. Her husband is high-minded and unyielding, and only makes Marie long for the man she really loves. As Civil War sweeps across England and the King is killed, a battle starts to rage between husband and wife - one that only the powerful can win. Told through the fictional journals of Milton's wife, Robert Graves's sympathetic and sensitive reconstruction of her tragic life is also a convincing, linguistically rich portrait of seventeenth-century England as it is ravaged by war.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56442723664245,"sku":"9780141197500","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780141197500.jpg?v=1765011418","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780141197500","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
