It's an outstanding book, it goes into more details about the Battle of Waterloo than I've found elsewhere.
@Freedom blimey thats got a pretty high score on GoodReads, do you need much knowledge on the battle to enjoy it, I'm pretty limited in that respect but this sounds pretty decent.

Anyways I opted to read this, started it yesterday, it's not fantastic but its alright, I might try and get it finished tonight



The village of Hemmersmoor is a place untouched by time and shrouded in superstition: There is the grand manor house whose occupants despise the villagers, the small pub whose regulars talk of revenants, the old mill no one dares to mention. This is where four young friends come of age—in an atmosphere thick with fear and suspicion. Their innocent games soon bring them face-to-face with the village's darkest secrets in this eerily dispassionate, astonishingly assured novel, evocative of Stephen King's classic short story "Children of the Corn" and infused with the spirit of the Brothers Grimm.
