This is the third volume in the author's trilogy about the 17th century French Huguenot family the Delpechs, who have had to flee their home and find themselves separated on different continents following persecution by King Louis XIV. Jacob finally makes his way back across the Atlantic to London at the time when the Protestant William of Orange lands in Britain to assume the kingship from the Catholic James II. As a result, he is pretty much expected to join William's army fighting against Catholics in Ireland. At the same time, Jacob's wife Jeanne is a weaver in London, forced to work for an English employer with whom she has a tense relationship. At the end of the novel, they are finally reunited. I have enjoyed this trilogy a lot, though this mostly wasn't as tense as the first volume. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"Jacob Delpech thinks day and night about his wife and child. He's determined to reunite with his family in London, but New York's brutal winter deep-freeze has ruined his carefully laid plans. With transport across the Atlantic at a standstill and European politics on the verge of upheaval, his chances of ever making it home grow slimmer by the day... Snowbound in Switzerland, Jeanne Delpech's heart aches for a loving reunion with her husband. To make it back to London, she and her son must travel across extremely treacherous terrain. But the biggest obstacle between her and Jacob's embrace may be the journey through dangerous enemy territory... When England's new king triggers fresh battles with France and her allies, the family's plan to reunite falls into ruin. As both husband and wife begin their hazardous trek to London, war creates an impossible chasm between them. Will Jacob and Jeanne reunite, or will religious persecution tear their family asunder forever?"--Amazon website. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
