Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports the reader to 18th-century New York, a land where peace often balanced precariously with conflict between Dutch settlers and indigenous tribes. A family of wealthy landowners, the Vancours, exemplifies this uneasy coexistence. Three brothers, Egbert, Dennis, and Ariel, hold differing views on how to navigate their world, yet share a strong bond. As the story opens, the arrival of Colonel Sydenham and his regiment of British soldiers injects new excitement into their lives, along with the return of Egbert's daughter, Catalina, who has been educated in New York City. The author explores the complexities of identity, loyalty, and the strains of colonialism, through the characters' relationships and experiences. This book offers a captivating and insightful immersion into the era of cultural clashes, survival, and the quest for identity in the American wilderness.
