When Dorcas tells Honour what happened to her father.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? There are many, but forced to choose it would be when her husband's family are faced with the concequences of their actions ( or in the case I actions) Things do not go as they should, however this brings out her strength of character and determination. Honour, Honour is a Quaker, a very kind, gentle girl who leaves her family and friends in England for a new life in America. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? Should Honor hide runaways from the ruthless men who hunt them down? The Quaker community she has joined may oppose slavery in principle, but does it have the courage to help her defy the law? Set in the tangled forests and sunlit cornfields of Ohio, Tracy Chevalier's vivid novel is the story of bad men and spirited women, surprising marriages and unlikely friendships, and the remarkable power of defiance.
They also shelter slaves escaping north to freedom. The woods are home to skunks and porcupines and raccoons. The roads are spattered with mud and spit. The sun is too hot, the thunderstorms too violent, the snow too deep. Life in 1850s Ohio is precarious and unsentimental. But tragedy leaves her alone and vulnerable, torn between two worlds and dependent on the kindness of strangers. When modest Quaker Honor Bright sails from Bristol with her sister, she is fleeing heartache for a new life in America, far from home. Laurel Lefkow reads the stunning new novel from the bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring
