Description

In 1338, as England declares war on France, Jeanette of Kent, a cousin to King Edward III, embarks on her first overseas journey with the royal court to Antwerp. There, she finds herself irresistibly drawn to the charismatic household knight Thomas Holland, who reciprocates her feelings with equal intensity. Despite the forbidden nature of their romance, their love blossoms, leading to a clandestine marriage. However, before they can reveal their union, Thomas is called away to war, leaving Jeanette vulnerable to familial machinations that result in her forced second marriage and subsequent isolation.

Upon Thomas's return, the couple faces their greatest challenge yet. As hostile relatives conspire to keep them apart, Jeanette and Thomas steadfastly vow to reunite, regardless of the consequences. Their tale unfolds against the turbulent backdrop of 14th-century Europe, replete with chivalric ideals, brutal warfare, devastating plagues, and fierce rivalries.

Why Sherlock & Pages?

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
