Produktinformationen zu „Vanishing Point (ePub)“
An Englishwoman searches for her sister in colonial America in this historical tale of dark suspense, love, and betrayal for fans of Philippa Gregory.
Bright and inquisitive, Hannah Powers was raised by a father who treated her as if she were his son. While her beautiful and reckless sister, May, pushes the limits of propriety in their small English town, Hannah harbors her own secret: their father has given her an education forbidden to women. But Hannah's secret serves her well when she journeys to colonial Maryland to reunite with May, who has been married off to a distant cousin after her sexual misadventures ruined her marriage prospects in England.
As Hannah searches for May, who has disappeared, she finds herself falling in love with her brother-in-law. Alone in a wild, uncultivated land where the old rules no longer apply, Hannah is freed from the constraints of the society that judged both her and May as dangerous-too smart, too fearless, and too hungry for life. But Hannah is also plagued by doubt, as her quest for answers to May's fate grows ever more disturbing and tangled.
This e-book includes a sample chapter of Illuminations.
Praise for The Vanishing Point
"An authentically detailed period piece with elements of gothic suspense thrown in for good measure." -Booklist
"A passionate, spell-casting story. The world Mary Sharrett creates is vivid, intimate, evocative. I was unable to put this book down." -Sandra Gulland, author of the Josephine Bonaparte trilogy
"A truly captivating novel. It wears its history lightly, in the best tradition of great historical fiction." -Katharine West, author of The Little Women
