“She apprehended the rare purity of accomplishment which brought no personal gain.”
Seton’s historical fiction is not only the story of Marblehead, MA, and of a family who settled and stayed there in the Hearth and Eagle Inn; it is also the story of Hesper Honeywood, a passionate young woman whose long and dramatic life is full of triumph and tragedy.
