Taking Liberties (Makepeace Hedley Book 2)
From the author also known as Ariana Franklin comes the thrilling sequel to "A Catch of Consequence," a novel that "moves at a cracking pace," according to the London Times. When Makepeace Hedley learns that her young daughter, who was sailing home to England from the rebelling American colonies, has been taken prisoner by the British, she becomes frantic. With her usual determination, Makepeace sets out for Plymouth to rescue her child.
At the same time, Countess Diana Stacpoole is asked by an American friend to help his son, who is also a British prisoner. Responding quickly, Diana leaves her genteel past behind and joins the effort.
In the chaos of wartime Plymouth, the two women face social outrage, public scandal, and even arrest. Amidst docks and prisons, government bureaucracy and brothels, they forge an unlikely and unshakable friendship. As they work to free others, Makepeace and Diana discover their own splendid liberty.
The narrative moves at a cracking pace, drawing readers into the high-stakes drama of the American Revolution and the personal struggles of the two protagonists. Makepeace's determination to rescue her daughter and Diana's compassion for her American friend's son drive the story forward, while the unexpected bond that forms between the two women adds depth and emotional resonance.
Through vivid descriptions and well-developed characters, the author paints a vivid picture of the turbulent times and the challenges faced by those caught in the crossfire of the conflict. The story explores themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the power of friendship to transcend social barriers and personal limitations.
Ultimately, "A Catch of Consequence" and its thrilling sequel offer a captivating and immersive reading experience, blending historical fiction with personal drama and the universal human need for freedom and connection. The author's skilled storytelling and attention to detail make this a must-read for fans of historical fiction and those who appreciate a compelling narrative that celebrates the resilience of the human spirit.
