March to Corunna – an epic tale of love and loyalty during the Napoleonic war
Juliet Dymoke
It’s 1808 and Napoleon’s troops are pouring into Spain. England stands united with its Iberian ally and despatches an army and one of its finest military leaders, the legendary Sir John Moore, to face the Emperor.
For Captain Peregrine Walker the war has come too soon. Having only just won the hand of Harriet from a rival suitor, he wants nothing more than to stay with his new wife. But fate has other plans, and on the battlefields of Portugal and Spain, he finds his rival seeking revenge.
For Harriet the words of her marriage vows – ‘Til death do us part’ – are more than just platitudes and she means to honour them. Following her husband, she journeys across the continent to Spain – braving enemy troops and friendly fire – to eventually join her husband on the terrible British retreat to Corunna. It is an act of foolhardiness that jeopardises her marriage and Rupert's love.
Dymoke is a master storyteller and historian, and in March to Corunna she delivers a sweeping love story where a woman’s heart is just another casualty of a brutal war, and of a love that can heal wounds.
