One sunlit afternoon, a young girl – illicitly bathing in a stream – first fell in love with a passing stranger. Her parents called her Dorcas, but he called her Campion and that’s what she longed to be, then and forever. So when an unbearable suitor is forced on her, she flees to seek her lover, taking with her the one gift left to her by her unknown father, a pendant of gold. There are four of these jewels, each key to a secret, each owned by a stranger, and when one person has them all, the holder will have great wealth and power...

Customer Reviews

As of 2011, Cornwell had sold more than 20 million books worldwide and he revels in telling historical novels packed full of intrigue and charm. A Crowning Mercy is a rollicking tale of romance and adventure set in the 17th century. The CD audiobook is set in England in the pretty Dorset countryside and focuses on the life of a young girl who falls in love with a mysteriously captivating stranger while bathing in a local stream.

We follow the young girl named Dorcas as she is unbearably ripped apart from her true love only to be forced into marrying an intolerable suitor. Dorcas desperately flees her life in search of her unknown father and her lover with only the help of a magical gold pendant left to her by her father. The pendant is encrusted with gleaming precious stones and Cornwell draws us into Dorcas’s life as we realise the jewellery holds more than just sentimental value.

But can Dorcas find all four of the puzzling pendants and what will happen when she does?

In this intriguing collection of audiobooks on CD, A Crowning Mercy is read by Anna Bentinck as she takes us on a journey of love, wealth and magical secrets that will soon see one girl’s life change forever.
