Review
This novel is remarkable! I had no idea that Priscilla and John were real people if it weren’t for the Afterword page. I didn’t know this book was based on a real historical event! I’m so glad I read it because I’ve learned a lot about the hardships that the Mullins family and the English settlers went through. They just wanted to build a new life in a land full of riches because of the corruption and disease in London during the 1600s. Who would’ve known of the grueling trials they had to face? Moreover, John (the ship’s cooper who maintains the ship’s barrels) and Priscilla’s love story was extraordinary.
I’m giving this book 5 out of 5 stars. The author is very admirable for her eloquence and dedication in writing such a great novel. It’s a remarkable retelling of the story of the 1620 voyage of the Mayflower and I highly recommend it to ALL readers who want a heartwarming historical drama, adventure, thriller, and romantic book based on factual events.
