TEMPEST:Bermuda 1609

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this historical novel that so deftly described the ocean voyages of the ships going to the new world. Separated by a violent and tempestuous storm, forcing those in charge to release a small ship loaded with beautiful horses and their caretaker to go down , drowning all, the Tempest labored on until it reached Bermuda. The lives of the wealthy and well stationed intermingled with the lives of the poor and common fighting together to survive.

Very interesting read!

I never cared about history when I was young but now I can't get enough. Although this was a work of fiction, it makes you think about what if I were there! Although I remember from somewhere that America was settled as a land to worship God and with values based on scripture, I didn't realize that meant that they were escaping the Church of England, or the Catholic church. The book was truly interesting from beginning to end.

Human Story of Jamestown

I knew of this voyage due to ancestor connections and Shakespeare, but Sue Wright brings the people to life with her well researched stories. I really appreciate her vision of the past.

heartrending stories of real people

This is a fascinating account of those who travelled to establish settlements in the New World. So much suffering and hardship

This novel was for the most part intresting. I had read a sequel first. I think that may have helped. For those that like somewhat historical fiction, you will enjoy the read.
