About this title

Review:

I defy anyone to put this book down. It's a wonderful novel: a big, bold-hearted love story that will sweep you up and take you, uncomplaining, on a journey full of heartbreak and light. (Martin Bright The Observer)

A gripping adventure story, which can also be read at deeper levels . . . enthralling. (Michael Eaude, The Independent)

Nicholas Shakespeare, author of Bruce Chatwin and The Dancer Upstairs - This epic narrative . . . is pacey and accesible without ever patronising the reader; deeply moving (Nicholas Shakespeare)

Book Description:

From the bestselling author of The Last Kabbalist of Lisbon comes a novel that takes the reader on an epic journey from war-ravaged nineteenth-century Europe to antebellum America.
