The Purchase
Winner of Canada's Governor General's Award for FictionPennsylvania, 1798. Daniel Dickinson, a devout Quaker, has just lost his wife. When he marries a fifteen-year-old Methodist orphan to help with his five small children, his fellow Quakers disown him for his impropriety. Forced out of the only community he's ever known, Daniel moves his family to the Virginia frontier. He has in hand a few land warrants, with which he plans to establish his new homestead. Although determined to hold to his Quaker belief in abolitionism, Daniel is now in a slave state, and he soon finds himself the owner of a young boy named Onesimus. This fatal purchase sets in motion a twisted chain of events that will forever change his children's lives-and his own. An unforgettable story of sacrifice and redemption, The Purchase powerfully explores questions of fate, faith, loyalty, and conscience.

Een mus valt ter aarde
E-bookPennsylvania, 1798. Na de dood van zijn vrouw blijft Daniel Dickinson met vijf jonge kinderen achter. Als hij een overhaast huwelijk met een vijftienjarig weesmeisje sluit, wordt hij uit de quakergemeenschap gestoten en besluit hij met zijn gezin naar Virginia te vertrekken. Na een lange reis vol ontberingen begint hij een nieuw leven als boer. In tegenstelling tot Pennsylvania is Virginia een staat waar slavernij wettelijk is toegestaan. Als overtuigd quaker is Daniel daar fel op tegen. Toch wordt hij op een veiling onbedoeld eigenaar van de jonge slaaf Onesimus. Dat vormt de aanzet tot een reeks dramatische ontwikkelingen. Een indringende roman over liefde en opoffering, over vrijheid en gebondenheid. Een tijdloos boek dat de lezer sprakeloos achterlaat. `Een mus valt ter aarde is een epische roman die er op alle niveaus toe doet in reikwijdte, diepte, en in the heart. Uit het juryrapport `Meeslepend Een van de mooiste historische romans die de afgelopen jaren verschenen. National Post Canada
