Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. In this immersive epistolary novel, the author invites us into the heart and mind of Alice Jocelyn, a young gentlewoman who emigrated from England to the wilds of 17th-century Maine. Through a series of letters to her sister Philippa, we follow Alice's journey as she navigates the complexities of her new life, love, and loss. The novel offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early America, the lives of women in that era, and the enduring power of the human spirit. Alice's letters are filled with keen observations on the contrasting cultures of the Old World and the New, the social customs of the time, and the challenges faced by women in a patriarchal society. With rich historical detail and a cast of vivid characters, this book sheds light on a forgotten chapter of American history and celebrates the resilience and spirit of the women who helped shape it.
