Winchelsea takes us to a corner of Britain that is off the beaten roads, and yet also Winchelsea does have its pirates and its history of social uprisings.
Having read this book, I got the audiobook from my local library, I found a broadened understanding of British history and how wild and free life was, at least imagined in this book a couple of hundred years ago. It wrote the characters directly into the landscape and the place/places where they lived and grew up. Amazing.

The narrators of the audiobook are superb and brought the story further to life.
