Massachusetts, a state forged in bravery and controversy, embodies the spirit of America and its deep roots. This epic novel unfolds the captivating story of Massachusetts through the experiences of the fictional Revell family over three generations, as they navigate the tides of history. The journey begins with orphaned Bartholomew Revell aboard the Mayflower, under the care of pilgrim leader John Carver. In New Plymouth, amidst hardship, the great sachem Massasoit and Squanto share vital survival knowledge with the Pilgrims.

La grande saga del Massachusetts.La storia della terra nella quale più solidamente affondano le radici americane, il Massachusetts, viene qui rivissuta, rivisitata e raccontata attraverso le avventure della famiglia Revell, di generazione in generazione, dall'arrivo della Mayflower ai giorni nostri. La rivoluzione industriale e l'abolizione della schiavitù, la guerra di secessione e l'immigrazione irlandese, Sacco e Vanzetti, il crollo della borsa e la guerra mondiale... La grande Storia collettiva si riflette drammaticamente nelle vicende private, dando vita a un'appassionante saga. Sullo sfondo degli sconfinati orizzonti di questo paese entrato nella leggenda, Nancy Zaroulis fa scorrere tre secoli e mezzo di storia, riuscendo a cancellare la patina del tempo e a far brillare vividi sulla pagina fatti, persone e sentimenti. Con grande rigore storico e documentario, ma anche con quella profonda sensibilità tutta femminile che i lettori dei suoi romanzi già conoscono, la Zaroulis emula e a volte supera il grande maestro James Michener.
