Description
The Heart's Highway is a historical romance novel set in Virginia during the seventeenth century. Written by Mary E. Wilkins, the book tells the story of a young woman named Priscilla who falls in love with a man named John. However, their romance is complicated by a number of factors, including the social and cultural norms of the time, as well as the tensions between the English colonists and the Native Americans who lived in the area. As Priscilla and John navigate these challenges, they are forced to confront their own prejudices and biases, as well as the realities of life in a new and unfamiliar land. With vivid descriptions of the landscape, the characters, and the historical context, The Heart's Highway is a compelling and engaging read that offers a glimpse into a fascinating period of American history.1900. Mary E. Wilkins (Freeman), American author whose short stories are highly regarded by the critics. Her stories and novels paint a picture of Massachusetts and Vermont still under the influence of Puritanism, in her view, a philosophy made rigid by time. The Heart�������s Highway begins: In 1682, when I was thirty years of age and Mistress Mary Cavendish just turned eighteen, she and I together one Sabbath morning in the month of April were riding to meeting in Jamestown. We were all alone except for the troop of black slaves straggling in the rear, blurring the road curiously with their black faces. It seldom happened that we rode in such wise, for Mistress Catherine Cavendish, the elder sister of Mistress Mary, and Madam Cavendish, her grandmother, usually rode with us-Madam Judith Cavendish, though more than seventy, sitting a horse as well as her granddaughters, and looking, when viewed from the back, as young as they, and being in that respect, as well as others, a wonder to the countryside.
