Real historical people come alive in this novel set on the isle of Jersey. Margaret had twenty sons and a daughter! mind-boggling. And that was only the beginning of her strength and commitment to her husband. This is a very nice followup to book 1.

“Collaborative workshops and writers' peer groups hadn't been invented when I was young. They're a wonderful invention. They put the writer into a community of people all working at the same art, the kind of group musicians and painters and dancers have always had.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, Steering the Craft: Exercises and Discussions on Story Writing for the Lone Navigator or the Mutinous Crew

“The isolated imagination is easily corrupted by theory, but the writer inside his community seldom has such a problem.”
