| Two French explorers arrive in Court to charm two ships from the English King. The rest, as they say, is history . . . or perhaps not. In this tale of beginnings and invention, actress-turned-explorer Lilly Cole takes on 17th century society with a provocative modern sensibility. Lilly must outperform and outfox â in Court, on stage, in private quarters, and in the brutal cold of James Bay â if she is to live at all. The Players is a voyage of discovery straddling libertine Restoration England and Canada's northern wilds â a magical tale chock-full of memorable characters, stunning imagery and burgeoning life force. In this sly, provocative and ingeniously funny novel, Margaret Sweatman explores the deep well of human motivation, how instinct trumps reason when survival is in question. |
