Summary
Summary
In 1631 Elizabeth Winthrop, newly widowed with an infant daughter, set sail for the New World. Against a background of rigidity and conformity she dared to befriend Anne Hutchinson at the moment of her banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony; dared to challenge a determined army captain bent on the massacre of her friends, the Siwanoy Indians; and, above all, dared to love a man as her heart and her whole being commanded. And so, as a response to this almost unmatched courage and vitality, Governor John Winthrop came to refer to this woman in the historical records of the time as his "unregenerate niece."Anya Seton's riveting historical novel portrays the fortitude, humiliation, and ultimate triumph of the Winthrop woman, who believed in a concept of happiness transcending that of her own day.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Abundant and juicy entertainment.” —New York Times
“A rich and panoramic narrative full of gusto, sentimentality and
compassion. It is bound to give much enjoyment and a good many thrills.” —Times Literary Supplement
“The Winthrop Woman is that rare literary accomplishment—living
history. Really good fictionalized history [like this] often gives
closer reality to a period than do factual records.” —Chicago Tribune
