Product Description
Synopsis
When Olivia's mother dies and her grave is dug in the garden of the family home, a skeleton of a 17th-century woman is uncovered. The remains are crushed, but one thing remains intact - a scold's bridle. Only when Olivia unearths the story of the woman does she begin to understand her own passions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miss this book at your peril !, 20 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Impassioned Clay (Paperback)
Voices from the past, speaking to Olivia: very much in the present. A skeleton uncovered in the garden of Olivia's home leads her into a journey of discovery. A discovery not only of the identity of the skeleton but also the identity of herself. This beautifully-crafted novel is part mystery, part history and part love story. Weaving back and forth Steve Davies holds the reader from the first page until the last, creating vivid scenes from the Seventeenth Century and interlacing them with scenes from the present. There is much humour in the novel, ranging from bawdy to sarcastic and some just plain 'daft' ! It is a novel which can be read and read again. Each time, the reader will find something new. By the end of the novel you will be hooked on the Seventeenth Century and you will want to find out more. By good fortune, you need look no further than Stevie Davies's non-fiction work of the same era, Unbridled Spirits: Women Of the English Revolution: 1640-1660. It was whilst writing this book that Stevie Davies was inspired to write her novel, Impassioned Clay.
