Award winning
author, Ruth Enright’s historical fiction
Seahaven is
available in
England,
1700’s. Seahaven is a lawless fishing village on the wild East Coast of
Yorkshire. When a sailing ship is wrecked, three young people from very
different backgrounds are caught up in a race against time. Solomon must escape
his bondage as an American slave and his two friends, Robin and Sophie, are
desperate to help him. However, this is a time of smuggling, slavery, robbery
and betrayal. The whole community, whether rich or poor, is involved in
outlawed activity. Robin’s strange and feared Uncle Jorfant leads the
underground smuggling ring. Soldiers, the militia and excise men are always on
patrol and the Press Gang is a constant fear to the men of the village. It is a
volatile, complex world, one in which past and present collide mysteriously.
Solomon,
Robin and Sophie all have their own personal reasons for wishing to escape.
During their adventures, both alone and together, they meet many people along
the way; some become allies, others a threat, and the three friends also face
new dangers. Hampered by their circumstances and those with power, who control
and surround them, escape is never a certainty.
Will Solomon
find freedom at last and what will become of Robin and Sophie? An exciting and
gripping adventure, portraying the harsh realities of life from a very
different era!
