it was amazing

The title of the book - Honour and the Sword - is the shortest summary you can get which includes all you get.

In the tradition of Alxandre Dumas, Honour and the Sword offers with André de Roland the French answer to Robin Hood. Enter a time where honour was something completely different and the rapier the weapon of the nobleman.
Remember the time when you read first Robin Hood and The Three Musketeers. You can't turn back the time but instead you can read Honour and the Sword and feel young again.

Read my over a Edi's Book Lighthouse.

I gave five stars due to following reasons:

- An excellent description of the concept of Honour in 17th century
- great description of the impact of the Thirty Years War on a small community
- loveable characters you easily can connect with
- delivered gamut of emotions
- narrative structure
above all author A L Berridge
Then we have editor Edward Morton, MA, LittD, Cambridge,
who collected different sources like the memoirs of a priest, interviews, letters and journals which. The whole story is told from different point of views based on the mentioned sources.
