The Armour of Light
Paperback Edition: 1
#1 bestseller Ken Follett returns to Kingsbridge with a tale of revolution and a cast of unforgettable characters.
Revolution is in the air - 1792. A tyrannical government is determined to make England a mighty commercial empire. In France, Napoleon Bonaparte begins his rise to power, and with dissent rife, Frances neighbours are on high alert.
Kingsbridge is on the edge - Unprecedented industrial change sweeps the land, making the lives of the workers in Kingbridges prosperous cloth mills a misery. Rampant modernization and dangerous new machinery are rendering jobs obsolete and tearing families apart.
Tyranny is on the horizon - Now, as international conflict nears, a story of a small group of Kingsbridge people - including spinner Sal Clitheroe, weaver David Shoveller and Kit, Sals inventive and headstrong son - will come to define the struggle of a generation as they seek enlightenment and fight for a future free from oppression. . .
