Duke of Monmouth, Rebellion, James II, Protestants, Roman Catholics, Somerstet, Defeat, Brutal Retribution By Rosemary Morris The Rebel’s Daughter’s father and mother are Sir Jonathan and Lady Wulfe of Loxbeare House in Somerset. The Rebel is wealthy Protestant Sir Jonathan, who fears the consequences of James II’s Roman Catholic faith. For this reason he supports the Protestant Duke of Monmouth, illegitimate son of Charles II.Helena’s father, elder brother Aaron and her Uncle Edmund join Monmouth after he lands in England.Before Sir Jonathan leaves, he tells his wife, daughter and younger son Henry. “There’ll be no fighting.” He had laughed. “This isn’t a battle, it’s more of a protest under arms.” He was wrong. James II hated his nephew and was determined to ruthlessly crush the rebellion.At church the vicar reads a proclamation that declares Monmouth’s followers are rebels and traitors. Helena is frightened for her father, brother and uncle, and also wonders if any respectable man would want his son to marry a traitor’s daughter.Helena misses her father. She wants him “home again, to feel his laughter rolling in his chest as he held her against him, the scratch of his rough coat on her cheek and the smell of his skin in her senses.” But everything Sir Jonathan owns will be expropriated with tragic consequences.Anita Seymour is to be congratulated both for her research and for bringing the Monmouth rebellion and its tragic consequences to life. I could almost see the flashes of gunfire in the dark, experience Sir Jonathan’s despair when his men are slaughtered and his disgust when Monmouth flees. I empathised with Helena and Henry left with a mother who could not cope with Sir Jonathan’s absence from home and her fears for his safety.The author moves Rebel’s Daughter forward at a fast pace, but never at the cost of superb descriptions of Somerset, emotion and the brutality which follows Monmouth’s defeat. As I read I hoped for a satisfactory outcome for the Rebel’s Daughter, Henry, her father, uncle and elder brother.My congratulations to Ms. Seymour for writing a novel that gripped me from beginning to end.

By the time I'd finished reading this novel, I felt I'd been there, in the countryside as Helena looks for members of her family through the broken bodies and stench of blood that are the realities of war, and as she tries to keep safe along the narrow, crowded lanes of London.Helena holds her head high, knowing everyone considers her father a traitor. Her family has lost everything in the rebellion, and with her younger brother, she tries to make a new life in the city that never sleeps. This is a novel I plan to keep on my kindle for a long time.
