A to Z Blogging Challenge 2013 - A

                    

For this year’s A-Z Challenge, I have chosen to

highlight some of the authors and their books, that

we, in our book club, have either read, as a group,

separately  or have been recommended by someone

in our on-line group.

        A big "Thank You" goes out to ARLEE BIRD for 

making this A to Z April Challenge possible!

        

Armstrong, Sally

This was one of our favourites, since our small actual meeting group is from New Brunswick, this was 'close to home' for us.!

From Indigo:

Charlotte Taylor lived in the front row of history. In

1775, at the young age of twenty, she fled her 

English country house and boarded a ship to Jamaica 

with her lover, the family's black butler. Soon after

reaching shore, Charlotte's lover died of yellow fever,

leaving her alone and pregnant in Jamaica. In the

sixty-six years that followed, she would find refuge

with the Mi'kmaq of what is present-day New 

Brunswick, have three husbands, nine more children 

and a lifelong relationship with an aboriginal man.

Using a seamless blend of fact and fiction, Charlotte

Taylor''s great-great-great-granddaughter, Sally

Armstrong, reclaims the life of a dauntless and 

unusual woman and delivers living history with all the 

drama and sweep of a novel.
