Produktbeschreibung

Spring 1625. Jack, a young Scottish baker longing for adventure, seizes the opportunity to work on a trading boat, the Eagle, bound for Belgium and France. When the Eagle is forced to halt in La Rochelle for repairs, Jack discovers that his childhood friend Robin has gone missing after fighting for the Huguenots in the Battle of Blavet. Feeling obliged to seek him out, Jack's new journey takes him across northern Spain, where suspicion of both foreigners and non-Catholics is widespread. After encountering thieves masquerading as pilgrims, Jack discovers that possessing a book by Galileo can be dangerous: he needs to leave in a hurry! Set in the turbulent world of 17th century Europe, this story draws on real historical figures in a Britain and Europe uncannily like our own.

Autorenporträt

A perennial bookworm and student, Maggie Williams Richmond has enjoyed a varied career including nursing, social care management, and charity administration. Having formerly balanced work and travel, Maggie spent the first five years of her retirement labouring with her husband to restore an old stone house in the foothills of the French Pyrenees. At the same time, she continued to compose songs, write poems, and publish a quirky reflective blog, co-authored with her dog Shadow. Now settled near Dundee, Maggie has delved deeply into her family tree and is developing a series of stories based on the lives of her ancestors ¿ a very mixed bunch, including a much-maligned Scottish nobleman, a transported convict, a Welsh preacher, and a Belfast industrialist. When not writing, researching, cooking, or gardening, you may find Maggie tricycling into town, walking along the coast path, or helping out at the local PDSA charity shop.
