Narrated with Du Maurier's signature atmospheric intensity, the novel unfolds across the grand estate of Menabilly — the author's own beloved home — weaving together themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the devastating cost of war. Honor, rendered immobile by a riding accident, watches helplessly as the conflict tears apart the world she knows, and her account of Richard's brilliance and brutality is rendered with unflinching honesty. The King's General masterfully balances the intimate anguish of a love story with the grand sweep of seventeenth-century history, building to a haunting mystery hidden within the walls of Menabilly itself. Rich in period detail and emotional depth, it stands as one of Du Maurier's most accomplished and enduring works.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810585161947,"sku":"2026200006781-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/527a3123-413e-4e88-a7f6-e1dd4359ce4e.png?v=1779805557","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006781-secondhand-the-kings-general","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
