For award-winning, internationally-acclaimed author Rosemary Sutcliff (1920-92). By Anthony Lawton: godson, cousin & literary executor. Rosemary Sutcliff wrote historical fiction, children's literature and books, films, TV & radio, including The Eagle of the Ninth, Sword at Sunset, Song for a Dark Queen, The Mark of the Horse Lord, The Silver Branch, The Lantern Bearers, Dawn Wind, Blue Remembered Hills.
How relevant are Rosemary Sutcliff’s novels to contemporary politics and society?
John Fitzgerald writes a piece about the referendum, about which he himself says (in his own words, in a comment elsewhere here)
It’s written from a pro-Leave standpoint and is quite religious in its outlook … So, it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I hope it goes to show just how relevant RS’s novels are to contemporary politics and society.
Well, that is a strange coincidence. Last week I read the same quotation from the Lantern Bearers in a Dutch/Belgian article about the future of the (Roman Catholic) Church. The article is Dutch, the quotation in English.

Lovely excerpt from a wonderful book. The Psalms, too, are filled with reminders that no matter how bleak the night, morning will come.
