{"product_id":"1814-craig-godfrey-9781950586615","title":"1814","description":"\u003cp\u003e1814 is a tale of two hemispheres and a man and a woman who initially shared little but the English language. Of a man of peace - a doctor - ensnared in the violence of the American revolution, forced to flee the former American colonies of King George III. Of a very young woman fighting for survival amid the injustice, poverty and corruption of early nineteenth Century Britain. A woman who is unjustly sentenced to transportation to Van Diemen's Land. British 'justice' was harsh beyond belief at this time and at its worst in its treatment of female convicts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this point in history Britain and particularly the Royal Navy were all powerful and the American doctor sought anonymity under a new identity. He 'signed on' with a group of sealers who had their own notorious empire in the remote islands of Bass Strait. These sealers, to this day, are recognized as the most evil of men. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is in this lawless world that two good people meet. This is a world the writer\/ historian and master story teller Craig Godfrey understands very well. Though fictional his characters fiercely illuminate the times, the remoteness and the people that populate these colonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a sweeping human panorama of the lives of convicts, free settlers, Aborigines and of good and evil. The action is constant often violent and yet love triumphs in the end. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWarren Boyles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Godfrey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1950586618\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781950586615\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penmore Press LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 614\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.36d","brand":"Craig Godfrey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874071556351,"sku":"9781950586615","price":21.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/1814-craig-godfrey-9781950586615","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
