Massachusetts, 1776

Young Abigail suffers greatly the way she is being raised by her mother, for whom a woman’s only place is in the kitchen. At the same time, her father’s dedicated fight for freedom also ignites in her a passion for the American Revolution. When news of her father’s death reaches her, she has a falling out with her mother. Soon after, Abigail goes on her way to fight for freedom and independence like her father had done.

On the way, she encounters the young English deserted Edward, who has come to the realization that he went to war for the wrong ideals and who also wants to join the revolutionary army.

Soon, the two discover their true feelings for each other and in the turmoil of the American Revolutionary War begins for them a time of uncertainty, of hope and of terror.

Is the burning torch of their love strong enough to withstand the storm?

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Nathaniel grew up in Germany and graduated from the University of Oldenburg, where he was never accused of over-studying, and went on to live in Ireland and most recently in Minneapolis, MN. In the sleepy irish town of Cork armed with his secret weapons: fresh atlantic ocean air and Jameson in his morning coffee, he completed his first book, The Mummifier's Daughter.

SPOILERS

The first glaring error I spotted was in the description of "Mother". In chapter one, she's described as 5'8" and shrinks down to 5'3" in chapter two. Additionally, I felt "Mother" was written as a horrible person with absolutely no redeeming qualities just to be used as a reason why the main character had to go off to war.

I thought the character's interactions with "Father", were overdone, with their reasoning for the necessity of the American revolution being described in several lengthy, repetitive, and tiresome interactions.

Despite the author's statement that he took pains to maintain historical accuracy, there are many inaccuracies in the descriptions, including that the character takes matches with her when leaving home.

In the middle of chapter 3, the author inexplicably switches from writing in third person to first and back again.

There is a scene where it's described as raining, and yet while sheltering under a large tree, there's suddenly enough moonlight for the character to sew clothing.

Some sentences make absolutely no sense to me: "The blackest of black punctured it just enough to let the starry light of heaven through."

The above combined with the fairly predictable story line made this only an OK read for me.

Well, let's see. I'd like to start with the overly modern sensibilities in a period piece, then move on to the author being ok (as publicly stated) with not having historical details correct. Finally, there were the awkward changes in POV (from third person to first) and the "notes to self" that didn't get cleaned up.

Overall: meh.

Usually, when I read a wildly inaccurate historical novel, I assume that the author just didn't understand the importance of research. He or she didn't understand that having 21st century people in costumes did not a historical novel make, so to speak. And that's the sort of review I'd have posted here, until I read Mr. Burns' afterward. But let's let Mr. Burns speak for himself. 'This book is many things, but one thing it is not is a history lesson. Reading this book should be entertaining, and while history is very entertaining, it is not the intent of this novel to follow a series of historical events.' Hmm. If history is entertaining, why does it need to be adapted so that it 'does not become arduous to read'? Perhaps because the author is unwilling to take the time? The author goes on to proclaim that he used 'real' people as models for his characters...that is, he took their names, and changed the details of their lives enough that the poor souls wouldn't be able to recognize themselves. Why not just use a fictitious name, too? Why acknowledge that a character was portrayed as an evil stepmother type, when historical accounts do not describe her as being so harsh? I'd mention a few more anachronisms, such as the heroine having sex with the hero while they are still basically strangers, but I'm still boggled at the idea of someone admitting that he simply doesn't care about historical accuracy if it makes the story 'better'. Sorry, Mr. Burns, but a great many of us who read historical fiction DO care about the details. Knowing that I can't trust any details in your story to be true vastly decreases the enjoyment and entertainment I would get from your books.
Oh...and George Washington as the personal deus ex machina of the hero? Bad choice. George had more important things to be doing.

I enjoyed this book. I liked the story about the British soldier questioning what side was right and joining the American side . Also I liked the story about him and her.
