In this story, we again meet Hart and Mercy Purchis, who are seperated by the Revolution in America. Jane Aiken Hodge is a wonderful storyteller, who weaves her fictional characters around real people and events in history. She is able to give us a glimpse of life during the time of her stories, without getting bogged down in overdetailed descriptions of fashions or buildings. In this story, we are treated to sightings of political figures in America and England, as Mercy travels to Philidelphia, and Hart to London. Her characters are strong, and the women are not helpless little creatures. Fans of historical novels will find this a thoroughly satisfying read.

This was one of those books that I thought I would have no interest in. Boy was I wrong. I couldn't put it down. Not a lot I can say without giving much away. The characters develop wonderfully and the story line draws you and keeps hold. Of course things do not go the way one would like, but isn't that true of most good books? Hope everyone likes this one, I sure did.
