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.
