Description
Virgin Earth, Philippa Gregory's latest novel, is a gripping tale of love, survival and the breakdown of traditional ways of life. In the midst of the English Civil War, John Tradescant the Younger, a skilled gardener, finds himself torn between his loyalty to the Royalist cause and his growing connection to the native people of Virginia.
As John navigates the treacherous landscape of the 17th century, he must confront the challenges of the new world and the old, where the established order is crumbling and every family must find its own way of surviving. With his unique collection of plants and his ability to nurture them, John becomes embroiled in a complex web of relationships and alliances that threaten to upend his life forever.
This thought-provoking novel explores the complexities of identity, community and the human condition, set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in English history.
