Sinopsis

In "The Story of Tonty," Mary Hartwell Catherwood intricately weaves historical narrative and vibrant storytelling to depict the life of Henri de Tonty, a soldier and explorer vital to the early French exploration of North America. Catherwood's style is marked by its rich, descriptive prose that immerses readers in the lush landscapes and tumultuous political climates of the 17th century. This novel stands out in the context of American historical fiction, exploring themes of adventure, loyalty, and the complexities of cultural encounters between European settlers and Indigenous populations. Catherwood, an accomplished author and a notable figure during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was influenced by her deep interest in American history and her unique position as a woman in the literary world. Her thorough research and travel experiences to historical sites infused her narratives with authenticity and emotional depth, transforming Tonty's story into a compelling exploration of identity and perseverance amidst the vagaries of colonial life. For readers seeking an engaging blend of history and fiction, "The Story of Tonty" promises both enlightenment and entertainment. Catherwood's insightful portrayal of historical figures and events invites readers to reflect on the personal and collective narratives that shape our understanding of the American past.

It is Sarah who Nick turns to as a parental role model and maybe something more.

    INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
    In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
    Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East. 
     
    Elizabeth Ogilvie sailed on the maiden voyage of the S.S Viking with rather mixed feelings. It was not that her job, as assistant purser, was likely to set her any problems; nor was she worried at having to keep secret the fact that she was virtually related to the Chairman of the shipping line, who was also on board — travelling incognito, for reasons of his own. What had been so upsetting for Elizabeth was to discover, at the last moment, that the Captain of the ship was to be Hugh Anson, with whom she had once been in love. But although Elizabeth did not know it, there were others on board with even bigger reasons for treating the Captain with hostility. Altogether it looked like being anything but a peaceful voyage!
