The Emerald of Burgos, a prequel to Gordon’s first novel, the much acclaimed Harpist of Madrid, is the tale of a 17th century Spanish courtesan and her two colleagues who work as camp followers to the Spanish army. As it says on the blurb, ‘It depicts their fiery relationships and the often amusing, sometimes tragic encounters with their many and needy customers. It boils with emotion, confounds with intrigue and dazzles with surprises.’
Do come along! Gordon just loves talking about his books and what better a Christmas present than a book signed by the author!
