GENRE: Family history

Blurb:

Saints and Sinners, for the first time, follows one family, as it navigated wars, plots and rebellions over the last 1000 years. Meet Sir John, Ross Poldark’s “real life equivalent”, whose love and marriage to a farmer’s daughter shocked Cornish society. Discover the special bond that has grown over 800 years, between the St Aubyns and St Michael’s Mount. This history gives a distinct and increasingly personal perspective, as the family identity evolves alongside that of its famous island.
