Fictional account of British invasion in Sandy Bay, MA, during War of 1812. Awards
Reviews"Clearly Sanchez has researched the period well, but the history never overwhelms the narrative. Instead, details of daily life make the story more believable. In a very readable nine-page afterword, Sanchez separates truth from fiction and discusses the novel’s historical background as well as her research. ... History buffs will enjoy reading a war story that is so well grounded in actual events." |
