Mother Time: Part Two
The twelve stories in PART TWO of Mother Time continue the chain where PART ONE left off, introducing the formidable Jenny – Sophie’s mother and Elizabeth’s grandmother – as a music-loving girl in the years before the Civil War.
Successive stories take us past the American Revolution into colonial New England. They feature a disgraceful pregnancy, the ravages of smallpox, naval warfare, a challenge to a duel, a charge of witchcraft and an Indian war.
A young puritan woman immigrates to the colonies from London, followed by her not-so-puritan mother, whose immediate forbears are Yorkshire farmers of Shakespeare’s day.
And the chain continues in PART THREE.

The settings for Mother Time took shape over decades of close reading and note-taking, but ordinary life provided the grist for the stories: family and friends, love and loss, mending and bread-baking, travel, work in factories, fields, shops and offices, struggles with money, religion and politics, tears and rages and a good deal of laughter.
