Description
The Bastard by John Jakes Praised by Patricia Cornwell as "the best historical novelist of our time," John Jakes brings to life a vibrant tale of romance and adventure in this novel of the Kent family saga. Set against the tumultuous backdrop of the Revolutionary War, the story follows Phillipe Charboneau, an illegitimate son denied his birthright, as he flees to London and eventually travels to America. In this gripping narrative, Phillipe finds work at a printing house, discovers the radical writings of Sam Adams, and becomes embroiled in the conflict that would shape a nation. With a new identity and a new passion, he joins the fight alongside the colonists, embarking on a turbulent adventure that would be remembered for generations to come. 544 pages, mass market paperback.
