Summary
"You are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
- ExodusIn war no one is left unscathed, untouched by the horrors man can do to their neighbour. The American Revolution is a war of liberty and brutality, of honour and of spies categories that are rarely neat. Arielle Nathan, is a young Jewish heiress whose life is thrown into spin by the British interest in her family. Half Jacobite covert and half Jewish, having travelled in short space from London to New York they represent the cultural identities of Britain's enemies. Over the years of the revolution her girlhood melts in Setauket as she learns to take matters into her own hands, those of love from a youthful infatuation with a British Captain to the love of her life-a Quaker in New York to those with more serious consequences- matters of life and death. It seems the Old Testament will continue to ring true.
