Fortunately, most of it was history. ( ) Story of Mayflower descendents 'till present - Bigelows and Hilyards. Set in Brewster. Excellent, the story of Lands, old family names, etc. Originally brought to America's shores by the Mayflower, two families unearth their family skeletons--which have lain buried in Cape history for more than 200 years. Cape Cod is a Michener-esque multigenerational saga of two Pilgrim families wrestling over land on Cape Cod. Martin alleviates the unpleasantness of the tale (the appalling mortality rate of the early colony, the Indian wars, British prisoner ships, tarring and feathering, slaving, nativism, etc.), with the eventual entwining of the two feuding families and the mystery of the location of the captain's log of the Mayflower. It's an absorbing read. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Engrossing...entertaining...the perfect book to take to the beach." - Boston Herald Two families, both carried by the Mayflower across stormy seas... both destined to generations of proud leadership, shameful intrigue, and passion for the sandy crest of land that became their heritage... This is the story of the Bigelow and Hilyard clans, from their first years on America's shores, through the fury of her wars and the glory of her triumphs, to our own time when young Geoff Hilyard must fight to save both his marriage to a Bigelow heir and the windswept coast he loves. It is a struggle that will take him deep into the past, to a centuries-old feud that never died..And on a dangerous quest for a priceless relic of American history that has lain hidden in the Cape for over two hundred years.
