A sweeping family saga across continents and through history. Based on meticulous research, Whispers Across Continents traces the Robinsons, Lincolnshire tenant farmers, to India's tea estates, Ottoman Constantinople, New York, and Wilhelmine Germany.

Political intrigue, illicit relationships, and suspected espionage intertwine as the Robinsons rub shoulders with royalty and historical figures. This account addresses themes of belonging and identity, exploring the social and economic currents of fin-de-siècle Europe.

Discover the Robinsons' untold stories amid world events: a charlatan warlord, a pioneering Victorian mosque, and whispers of a family's past echoing across time. Perfect for readers of historical biography and genealogy.
