Description
<p><span><span>Shakespeare's Witches tell Banquo, "Thou Shalt 'Get Kings Though Thou Be None". Though Banquo is murdered, his son Fleance gets away. What happened to Fleance? What Kings? As Shakespeare's audience apparently knew, Banquo was the ancestor of the royal Stewart line. But the road to kingship had a most inauspicious beginning, and we follow Fleance into exile and death, bestowing the Witches' prophecy on his illegitimate son Walter. Born in Wales and raised in disgrace, Walter's efforts to understand Banquo's murder and honor his lineage take him on a long and treacherous journey through England and France before facing his destiny in Scotland.</span></span></p>
Story Behind The Book
In A Human Element, Laura Armstrong holds strong to the idealistic belief that we all have a redeemable human element inside us, no matter the evil we’ve done – or that has been done to us. She believes this about the antagonist and about the man she comes to love, who thinks he is not worthy of love due to his tainted past.
Do you think we are all redeemable? Or some of us are doomed?
Reviews
<p>A HUMAN ELEMENT is an elegant and haunting first novel.
Unrelenting, devious but full of heart. Highly recommended. -
