Not a lot to say about Lorna Doone, only two of us on the zoom meeting. I will finish it one day as I am enjoying it, but have had to get on with other books meantime.
Now is the Time by Melvyn Bragg
1381 and the king wants more taxes. Bowman Walter Tyler has had enough and so have so many others, Wat, John Ball (Priest) and Jack Straw from Essex lead their parties in to London to negotiate with the king. When they think that they have won concessions from the king he turns on them and an almighty purge of the dissidents around the country happens. A regrettable part of our history.
We all enjoyed this book after we got over the beginning couple of chapters. It was well researched and written. Our marks averaged at 9.
