What if John Milton,Cromwell's secretary,anticipating the king's return to London,had decided to flee England in order to avoid imprisonment or death? What if he had crossed the ocean and joined the Puritans recently settled in New England? Peter Ackroyd takes this idea and from it creates an enthralling story of conflict, treachery,hypocrisy and greed.
One of Ackroyd's finest achievements, 'Milton in America' is a brilliant and mysterious novel which takes the reader into an enchanted world that is part dream and part history,part invention and part myth.
