The Gunpowder Plot by Antonia Fraser

adventurous challenging informative mysterious sad tense medium-paced

5.0

An excellent example of narrative historical fiction, with a compelling through-line of the impact that the plot had on the catholic population at the time in a way that compares to how present day terrorism impacts present day marginalised groups, while humanising the plotters (and intended victims) themselves.
