À propos de cet audio

 From the acclaimed author of The Last Pearl and Dancing at the Victory Cafe, this is a beautiful novel about dark family secrets, betrayal, love and redemption.

1666. A child is born in the farmhouse at Windebank, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Named Rejoice (Joy) by her dying father, Joy grows up witness to the persecution of the farming community for following a banned faith. Defying the authority of the local priest, she joins a group of Yorkshire pioneers travelling to the New World to form a colony close to Philadelphia - a passionate, rebellious and courageous woman fighting against the constraints of the time. Will she find peace and love?

2014. A leather-bound book is found buried in the walls of the Meeting House in Good Hope, Pennsylvania. Its details trace the owner back to a Yorkshire farm in the Dales. And so a correspondence begins between Rachel Moorside and the man who found the journal, Sam Storer, as Rachel uncovers the tumultuous secrets of her family’s history.©2016 Leah Fleming (P)2018 Simon & Schuster UK Fiction Historique Angleterre

I wasn’t sure when I started this read but hung in there and so glad I did … a great historical book… I learned so much about the history of the Quakers… the persecution they endured and reading about the day to day life of their world was so interesting.
Starting a new life in America and the toil and labour it took to start over … good book !!

Enlightening !!!
