- Synopsis
- A historical novel based on a true story of the Jacobite rebellion, from &“a writer who has a special feeling for the dramatic&” (Chicago Tribune). This fiercely beautiful novel tells the true story of Charles Radcliffe, a Catholic nobleman who joined the short-lived Jacobite rebellion of 1715, and of Jenny, his daughter by a secret marriage. Set in the Northumbrian wilds, teeming London, and colonial Virginia—where Jenny eventually settled on the estate of the famous William Byrd of Westover—Jenny&’s story reveals one young woman&’s loyalty, passion, and courage as she struggles in a life divided between the Old World and the New. &“Miss Seton&’s narrative is richly buttressed with the results of scrupulous research on the personages and the period. Her sole purpose is to tell a rousing good tale plainly and simply and this she does admirably.&” —New York Herald Tribune
