4.0 out of 5 stars
This is not a science fiction or fantasy, more of an adventure story, July 23, 2009
This review is from: Follow the Drum (Mass Market Paperback)
Follow the Drum
Andre Norton
(c1943 r1970)
They followed their king into exile and when they returned to claim their rightful inheritance, a cry of "Treason" sent them running for their lives.
Johanna and her brother, Gerrit had waited their whole lives for a real home in England, instead of the military camp tents they had come to know. But on their arrival in England, Gerrit was framed for treason. He managed to escape the noose, only to be sold into slavery in America.
And so began Johanna's determined odyssey to find Gerrit, and to carve for him a grand home out of the Maryland wilderness where few men--and certainly no women dared to go.
With courage, hope, and the help of a mysterious Irish nobleman, himself a slave, Johanna slowly discovered that it was a husband, not a brother, for whom she yearned...
Interestly, a number of books have this title.
