Place Mill by Barbara Softly

First published in 1962
I read this book soon after it was published, I must have been around 10 or 11 years old. Set in the English Civil War, this book became one of my favourites. The story of Kate, Nicholas, the Miller, and their conflicting loyalties during this war, was somehow gripping and haunting. At some point of time I lost the book, but the memory of it remained with me. And 50 years later, I was able to order a copy and read it again. I still think it is a great book.
