- Synopsis
- TO THE CLEAR blue eyes of Tamar Gates the fields and lanes of Cornwall were the whole world, and Rob Morgan was its center. Tamar dreamed only of marrying the handsome Welshman and settling down cozily on his pleasant farm, no more than a mile from home. And when her father was offered a post with the latest expedition to the New World, the "Third Supply" bound for the new Jamestown colony, Tamar certainly meant to stay behind in England. But when Tamar lost faith in Rob, there was no choice for her but to go with her father and the adventurous group of colonists who were setting sail on the vast and hazardous seas to an unknown wilderness beyond. Here is a thrilling account of that remarkable voyage aboard the gallant little Sea Venture--the legend of storm and shipwreck that is said to have inspired Shakespeare's magical play, The Tempest. This is an action- filled tale of danger and hardship, of courage and endurance and of a love that outlived misunderstanding, separation and despair. THE LAND BEYOND THE TEMPEST is also an extraordinarily vivid evocation of those strange, enchanted islands, "the vexed Bermoothes."
