Hearth and the Eagle by Anya Seton

Hearth and the Eagle by Anya Seton

A substantial and well-told story that makes real one of the longest and most vigorous strands in the making of our country. New York Herald Tribune

In the mid-1940s, the great historical novelist Anya Seton embarked on a fervent search for her forebears that led her to Marblehead, Massachusetts, a sea-girdled town of rocks and winding lanes and clustered old houses. There she found not only an ancestor, but also the setting for this, her fourth novel. It is not only the story of Marblehead, from its earliest settlement to Seton s present, 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, full of triumph and tragedy, contained the history of both. In one of her most ambitious novels, Anya Seton here created one of her most memorable heroines, and one of her most varied tales.

ANYA SETON (1904 1990) was the author of many best-selling historical novels, including Katherine, The Winthrop Woman, Avalon, Dragonwyck, Green Darkness, Devil Water, and Foxfire. She lived in Greenwich, Connecticut.

Anya Seton is the author of the bestselling historical novels Katherine, Green Darkness, Dragonwyck, Avalon, and The Winthrop Woman. Philippa Gregory is the author of many bestselling novels, including The Constant Princess, The Other Boleyn Girl, andThe Queen's Fool.
