The Tombstone Maker's Daughter

Historical novel. Love story blighted by events in an England emerging from war, plague and the puritan age.

Charles I is executed with the words ‘I go from a corruptible to an incorruptible crown, where no disturbance can be.’ 
His son Charles II eventually replaces him as King. Royalist army doctor Sir Thomas Huck returns to Cornwall from exile, facially scarred from the Civil War, but still with desire for Iben Hartmann, the tombstone maker’s daughter. During this turbulent time what has happened to free-spirited Iben that makes her love one minute and despise the next? It is a time of plague and upheaval following Cromwell’s Puritan regime. A story set in a beautiful location.
