BOOK DESCRIPTION:
There are two charming heroines in this
book - Abigail and Lady Hester. There is an English nobleman who cannot be
classified as a villan, but who is certainly a secret emissary - Edward
Humbird, 6th Earl of Hemynge. There is a stupid Prime Minister - Lord
North, who serves an equally foolish master, George III of England. There
are two heroes, men of widely different backgrounds, but both of
extraordinary character - John Adams of Massachusetts, and William Pitt,
Lord Chatham. The year is 1770, and the scene moves from London to Boston
and back again to London.
Out of these characters, all of whom except Lord Hemynge
and his secretary Giuseppe. Tompkins are figures of history, the author has
spun an enchanting tale, a recreation of history as it might have happened.
For if Lord North had had the gift of high audacity, if Abigail Adams had
not been the perfect wife she was, if John Adams had not possessed a fierce
integrity - history might have taken a different course.
And because Nicholas Wyckoff is gifted with a lambent
humor, a distinguished style, an historic imagination which deepens and
makes vivid every page, he has written this dazzling jeu d'esprit. It is a
book that the reader must savor for himself if its quality is to be
conveyed.
