Sinopse

When John Tradescant, gardener to King Charles I, leaves England and arrives in the New World in search of exotic seeds, his guide is the beautiful young native Suckahanna, who allows him to glimpse the beauty of freedom and love. Her people, the Powhatans, welcome John, who comes to know and respect the local way of life. Needing to return to England, John sets out, but with plans to return to the virgin land: he intends to marry Suckahanna. However, much has changed in his country. With his father's death, he finds himself forced to accept a marriage of convenience with an Englishwoman for whom he has no feelings. And politically, the country plunges into an intense civil war, and, as a faithful servant, John will be forced to fight for the king. To avoid having to fight for something he doesn't believe in, he once again returns to Virginia. Philippa Gregory guides the reader through John's comings and goings across the Atlantic, with his dilemmas and doubts: a man torn between England and America, and between the two women of these distant nations. In both the new world and the old, the established order is crumbling, and every family must find a way to survive. This powerful epic sheds light on the conflicts of the 17th century with a gripping narrative that appeals to both history buffs and readers eager for an unforgettable romance.
