The Lanterns of St Frideswide
In Oxford during the winter of 1644, a widow who keeps a small candle shop near the city walls is drawn into the slow unraveling of a divided household when Parliamentarian troops are quartered in her street. As old loyalties, hunger and fear press in, she is forced to decide whether survival means silence or a dangerous act of witness.
