PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
J. C. Harvey is the fiction pen-name for Jacky Colliss Harvey. After studying English at Cambridge, and History of Art at the Courtauld Institute of Art, Jacky worked in museum publishing for twenty years, first at the National Portrait Gallery and then at the Royal Collection Trust, where she set up the Trust's first commercial publishing programme. The extraordinary history of the Thirty Years War (1618-48) and of 17th-century Europe has been an obsession of hers for as long as she can remember. She made her fiction debut with THE SILVER WOLF in 2022, a historical novel described by Tracy Chevalier as 'superb storytelling'.
A vivid, gripping story, beautifully handled, with a gem on every page. I'm full of admiration, if not a little envy at Harvey's confidence; she knows exactly what she's doing. -- Tracy Chevalier * Tracy Chevalier * Vibrant, twisting and compelling. The Dead Men will appeal to old and new fans of Jack Fiskardo as he fights for Protestantism in a 17th Century Europe, ravaged by war. This is a series worth following! -- Minette Walters Once again J.C. Harvey has cleared the high bar in historical fiction by a mile. -- S. W. Perry * S. W.
