About this story
Battersea Barricades visits the Civil Uprisings through two young women who want to take part but have very little practical preparation. Stealing a bicycle, navigating a boat and getting rid of oil stains become pressing problems.
They are uncertain about both their destination and what they should do on arrival. The publisher presents this as a look into the earlier lives of familiar St Mary's characters.
Our view: the attraction is rebellion seen at ground level. The premise replaces grand strategy with small, immediate difficulties, offering readers another way to understand the experience behind the institute's people.
The story appears in Long Story Short under the title this story; the individual publisher edition uses The this story. You can choose that ebook or Zara Ramm's UK unabridged audiobook, which lasts 1 hour 49 minutes.
The site's suggested order places this background excursion after An Argumentation of Historians, alongside other optional shorter works.
