Synopsis
Combining thoroughly documented history with superb storytelling, this sympathetic tale imparts lessons on early New England while examining issues around the importance of home. From the perspective of the memorable Hesper Honeywood, this fascinating journey chronicles the generations of Honeywoods who built and lived in the Hearth and Eagle Inn, and their friends and neighbors who struggled to eke out a living from the sea. Readers will follow the radical changes brought to the town of Marblehead, Massachusetts, by the industrial revolution--in the form of a new shoe factory that draws the salt-water people away from their traditional crafts--as well as the encroaching larger factories that will crush the smaller business and send the Marbleheaders back to the salty sea., In the mid-1940s, the great historical novelist Anya Seton embarked on a fervent search for her forebears that led her to Marblehead, Massachusetts, a sea-girdled town of rocks and winding lanes and clustered old houses. There she found not only an ancestor, but also the setting for this, her fourth novel. It is not only the story of Marblehead, from its earliest settlement to the present, and of a family who settled and stayed there in the Hearth and Eagle Inn; it is also the story of Hesper Honeywood, a passionate young woman whose long and dramatic life, full of triumph and tragedy, contained the history of both. In one of her most ambitious novels, Anya Seton here created one of her most memorable heroines, and one of her most varied tales.", In the mid-1940s, the great historical novelist Anya Seton embarked on a fervent search for her forebears that led her to Marblehead, Massachusetts, a "sea-girdled town of rocks and winding lanes and clustered old houses."
