Act of Oblivion by Robert HarrisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A fascinating book from a wonderful author. The story, based on real events and people, comes alive as Harris fills in the details.
Life in the colonies in the mid-1600's is different from the way I learned it in history class A lot went on between Plymouth Rock and the American revolution. This brings that era of our history into much sharper focus. The factionalism, religious bigotry and extremism in the old and new world is beyond imagination. Citizens and leaders were unprepared for their life in the colonies and made enemies of their compatriots and the native peoples.
What a great book. This man is a master storyteller.
