Beschreibung

In "The Little Huguenot," Max Pemberton masterfully weaves a narrative that delves into the intricate fabric of 17th-century French Protestant life. The novel is distinguished by its evocative prose and rich historical context, presenting the struggles and resilience of the Huguenots in a time marked by religious persecution. With a keen sense of dramatic tension, Pemberton paints a vivid portrait of a young child's journey through a landscape fraught with danger and uncertainty, exploring themes of faith, identity, and the quest for belonging amidst societal upheaval. Pemberton, an English writer and journalist, drew upon his own experiences and the broader historical currents of his time to craft this poignant tale. His interest in social issues and historical narratives is evident throughout his work, as he sought to elevate the voices of marginalized communities. Pemberton was passionate about history and often infused his fiction with meticulous research, making "The Little Huguenot" not only an engaging story but also a significant historical commentary on the plight of the Huguenots. I highly recommend "The Little Huguenot" to readers drawn to historical fiction that encapsulates both the personal and the political. This novel offers a compelling exploration of faith and perseverance, all while illuminating a lesser-known chapter of history, making it an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of human experience.

Dickie Chaseley, grandson of the first Chaseley to arrive in Australia, is a respected businessman, and his vivacious wife, Vivienne, is a much-loved patron of a large number of charities. 
  
Circumstances have drastically changed young Laura Dawson’s comfortable and sheltered life and she gratefully accepts what she sees as a lifeline, a job working with Viv Chaseley.

Widower Griffin Oake made his fortune in the ring—but he can't buy respectability, or a footing in society for his daughter.

When Dorothea is publicly compromised, she's pushed into a marriage of convenience with the object of her infatuation. Exiled to the country, with a husband who avoids her, and a stepdaughter determined to defy her, Dorothea's dream of a loving family seems further away than ever . . . and she begins to suspect that Griffin's first wife's death was not an accident.
