'Fascinating... A vivid account' - Philippa Gregory, The Times In
the mid-seventeenth century, England was divided by Civil War, but
inside the home domestic life continued as it always had done. Lady
Ann Fanshawe's 'receipt book' was a treasured and entirely feminine
response to the upheavals of war, which left few doctors to be
found. And so Ann's morocco-bound book full of scraps of
ink-stained paper contained everything from lifesaving remedies to
recipes for hot chocolate. Using Ann's receipt book and the memoirs
she wrote for her surviving son, Lucy Moore follows her through
this turbulent time as she leaves home, marries, bears - and buries
- children and seeks to hold her family together. Lady Fanshawe's
Receipt Book brilliantly illuminates the life and times of an
English woman's Civil War.
