Description
Dover Harbour by Thomas Armstrong is a richly detailed historical novel set during one of Britain’s most turbulent eras, as the threat of invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte looms over the English coast.
Spanning the years 1789 to 1809, the novel recreates the dramatic period from the outbreak of the French Revolution to the early stages of the Peninsular War. Against this sweeping historical backdrop, Armstrong tells the story of two determined men whose opposing visions for the future of Dover—one a shipowner, the other a banker—shape both their personal rivalry and the destiny of the town.
Blending historical authenticity with romance, political intrigue, and vivid storytelling, Dover Harbour offers a compelling portrait of England during the Napoleonic Wars and the people whose lives were transformed by the events of their age.
