Summary

Warwick, 1468. One drowsy summer afternoon, Sir Thomas Malory – politician, courtier, outlaw, renowned author of Le Morte D'Arthur – is seized from his garden and dragged to Newgate Prison for reasons unknown.

Shivering in his foul-smelling, filthy old cell, Malory mourns his misspent life as he awaits the execution bell. But when the locking bar lifts, he is greeted by a boy of about 12 winters: the gaoler's son. Giddy with relief, Malory seizes the opportunity to recount his deeds to an audience.

So begins a prison confession of a perilously exciting life full of sieges, battles and court intrigue. A Good Deliverance is the captivating tale of a man at odds with his past and the events that inspired him to write the first great work of prose fiction in English.

just loved the unusual style of the book

I really enjoyed this story , they way it moved from present to past however was not prepared for such an unexpected and unexplained ending , I was left feeling confused and a little shocked it ended so, another book maybe ?

A Good Deliverance by Toby Clements

A good story and very well read. It was very involving, and somehow you see it more vividly.
