Rezensionen

'Living history at its best. Engaging and enthralling.' The Times

'Philbrick spins a fascinating and richly complex tale. A champion sailor himself, he excels at seafaring scenes..."Mayflower" is an earnest, engaging and spirited work.' Sunday Telegraph

'Brilliantly constructed. This is more than a small, forgotten war in the first days of America's development. It is a case study in folly, fear and ignorance...enthralling.' Observer

A sweeping narrative history.' Financial Times
