Interpretation During Books On Solway Sand (The Borderer Chronicles #3)
‘Seven reasons they have for risking life… not fealty, faith, nor fee, but reasons of their own and cause enough to die for.’On Solway Sand, set against the turmoil of sixteenth century Anglo/Scottish border conflict, is the third instalment of The Borderer Chronicles series. Jack Brownfield, a borderer, in a life not of his choosing, continues to travel a dangerous path not of his design. He seeks to escape the bonds that hold him. But ties, bound tightly, are never easy to break. This is a story of contrast and redemption, as seven seek salvation for a lonely Cumbrian village on a Solway shore.
‘There is a place, ethereal, where the elements of rock and sand slowly melt into the sea. A place to find in the morning, when the wind is stilled and tide receded. When God’s breath sits over the water and clouds the distant hills of Dumfriesshire in blues of unnatural hue.’

My own book. Written to signpost the wonderful English and Scottish Solway coasts. Written as a continuence of a family saga of Borderers moulded by the political and religious turmoil of the sixteenth century.'His mind thought the worst of it, and doubt and disquiet was his reward...'I loved this book of a man finding redemption for a failing love on a lonely Cumbrian shore...'There is a place, ethereal, where the elements of rock and sand slowly melt into the sea...'The Solway coast in Cumberland... a place I, as a reader, I now want to see...'He looked to people most in revelry and picked their pockets and cut their purses, he even stole a dull knife or two even though he had three keener knives
The third instalment of the Borderer Chronicles and, as with the two forerunners, expertly written, full of archaeological and geographical authenticity and thoroughly compelling from beginning to end. Having read the previous two tales ~ Three Hills and Devotion and the Devil, it was with great delight that I once again met with the characters, charting the continuation of their lives, successes and strife as would an old friend. The author did not fail to incorporate unexpected twists in the
I was given a free paperback copy of this to read and in turn review, because I had read the author's other works on the Borderer Chronicles.The book is a continuation of a story started in an early book, Three Hills, and deals with the main protagonist's failing marriage as well as the redemption of other men and women who each have one of the seven deadly sins as a character trait. The number seven seems to be a plot device throughout the book which the author makes good use of as the stories
Praising as I did the author's last work, Devotion and the Devil (the Borderer Chronicles), I was asked to read and comment on this new work in a saga of twelve planned books by the author.Following my read of Andrew Greig's beautifully written 'Fair Helen', I was more than happy to don my 'bonnet' and fall once again into 'dwam' at the imaginings of reiver times. Dip my toe into the 'burns and bruck' of the Anglo-Scottish border in the sixteenth century. On Solway Sand, by Mark Montgomery has
