About this book
Richard Clevering's new Continental uniform turns a neighbourly gathering into an argument about loyalty. Joscelyn Cheshire supports King George, and her sharp exchanges with Richard expose the distance between his political cause and his hopes of winning her affection. Set during the American Revolution in the Carolinas, Sara Beaumont Kennedy's historical novel brings public conflict into the intimate world of family visits, courtship and conversation.
The story also follows Richard into the dangers of wartime captivity and escape. In one scene, hungry and short of options, he tries to persuade a woman to take him across to the Jersey shore in her boat, offering payment while protecting the identity of a friend. Lively dialogue links these domestic and military scenes.
