Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Es beginnt 1815: Auf dem Ball der Duchess of Richmond am Vorabend der Schlacht von Waterloo zeigte sich sehr deutlich, wie verliebt die junge Sophia Trenchard, Tochter eines Geschäftsmanns, in Edmund Bellasis war, den attraktiven Neffen der Duchess. Aber in den folgenden Wochen trugen sich schreckliche Ereignisse zu.

Julian Fellowes, der Autor von "Downton Abbey", entführt die Leser ins 19. Jahrhunderts. Im Mittelpunkt steht eine unerhörte Liebesgeschichte. Fellowes lässt dabei die Zeit Charles Dickens' lebendig werden, zeigt, wie sich der alte englische Adel und die Händler, die mit der Errichtung des Commonwealth reich und mächtig geworden sind, arrangieren müssen. Dabei ist ganz in der Nähe des Buckingham Palastes das teuerste Viertel Londons, Belgravia, entstanden.

This was a gift for my mother. I had read it in the recent past. Willa Cather is a brilliant storyteller, and this story takes place in the West, the other side of the Mississippi It is a great historical read.

Great Virginia Author

I did a genealogy project for a family who lived in the mill that serves as the setting for this book. I love Willa Cather and had somehow missed this one! It was great.

A story fairly and sensitivey told...

Excellent--point of view of the conscientious slave-holder, torn by Abolitionist leanings even while holding slaves--after Civil War time, shows a bit of what freed slaves and slave owners went through--sensitively and fairly dealt with

i love willa cather

i love willa cather. i read her when i was a teenager and am rereading her now that i'm old; and this edition is the exact one from my mother's bookshelves, so i really enjoyed holding it and reading it. also, it came in a timely fashion. concerning cather, my first love is "my antonia", but this and "death comes for the archbishop" come a close second.

Publisher's Summary:

After three years in England, William Landor returns to Boston in 1774, little knowing the events that are about to unfold.

England has issued an ultimatum: pay for the tea that was destroyed in the Boston Tea Party, or the Port of Boston will be closed. William knows that this will have a devastating effect on his hometown, which is so dependent on the sea. However, he finds himself in the middle of the political struggle he wanted to avoid.

William's father is a merchant and loyal to the king and is furious at what the rebels of Boston have cost him. He would like nothing more than to rid the city of their poisonous influence. Meanwhile, William's best friend, Dr. Joseph Warren, is one of the leaders of rebels, or Whigs as they call themselves.

As if his life was not complicated enough, he meets a fiery indentured servant who tugs at his heart as well as his loyalty. When he is confronted by the consequences of his many secrets, he has to make a choice whether or not to tell the truth. Does he have the kind of courage it will take?

Courage

I really liked this book. My only complaint is that there wasn't more at the end, but even that wasn't too bad. Sarah did a great job writing it. Micah's reading was easy to listen to and I liked the accents he was able to do.

Narrator: James Patrick Cronin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 9 hrs and 51 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-26-16

Publisher: Recorded Books

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 6 votes

Genres: Fiction, Historical

Publisher's Summary:

From Pushcart Prize nominee Danny Johnson comes a powerful, lyrical debut novel that explores race relations, first love, and coming of age in North Carolina in the 1950s and '60s.

At eight years old, Raeford "Junebug" Hurley has known more than his share of hard lessons. After the sudden death of his parents, he goes to live with his grandparents on a farm surrounded by tobacco fields and lonesome woods. There he meets Fancy Stroud and her twin brother, Lightning, the children of black sharecroppers on a neighboring farm. As years pass, the friendship between Junebug and bright, compassionate Fancy takes on a deeper intensity. Junebug, aware of all the ways in which he and Fancy are more alike than different, habitually bucks against the casual bigotry that surrounds them - dangerous in a community ruled by the Klan.

On the brink of adulthood, Junebug is drawn into a moneymaking scheme that goes awry - and leaves him with a dark secret he must keep from those he loves. And as Fancy, tired of saying yes'um and living scared, tries to find her place in the world, Junebug embarks on a journey that will take him through loss and war toward a hard-won understanding.

At once tender and unflinching, The Last Road Home delves deep into the gritty, violent realities of the South's turbulent past, yet evokes the universal hunger for belonging.

Members Reviews:

A Taste Of Sweet Tea,Served Beside Burning Crosses

Southern authors have been one of my favorite genres for as long as I can remember. So finding a new voice that speaks the language of the south, is a joy.

Johnson writes with the same flair as Pat Conroy, reminding me with this piece of the emotional nuances found in The Prince of Tides.

The author takes us inside the world of the south in the early sixties with its turbulent race problems, up to current times. And he takes us there in a beat up pickup truck, running back roads that move from being fragrant with the smells and sights of rich farmlands, to the seamy backwoods cloaking drug lords ushering in the reign of marijuana.

Midway through the story, weâre helicoptered into the quagmire of Vietnam with the protagonist finding and using skills only a few can, or even want, to lay claim to. Finding that the dark secrets of his past have laid groundwork for what he becomes in the war offers a type of solace for the protagonist, causing him to concede to the possibility that we come here with a certain destiny in life. Each incident guiding us down the path for what lies ahead.

The Last Road Home delivers a powerful story, speaking to us with a deliberate southern cadence, which can be warm and sultry as in the relationship with Junebug and Fancy, or deliberate and full of grit, as reflected during Junebugâs tour of Vietnam.

This piece will linger in the back of my mind, as have all the other great southern authorâs books, because the story has been told so well, encompassing the rhythm of the south in all its diversity, serving it up with sweet tea, burning crosses, and a smile that can sometimes slip sideways into a grimace.

It tackles interracial love in the pre-Civil rights South in a tender and ...

The Last Road Home is not simply a coming of age story. It tackles interracial love in the pre-Civil rights South in a tender and completely believable way.

The Second World War has finally come to a close. Birmingham is welcoming home its menfolk, and a new chapter is beginning in Rachel Booker's life. Her husband has returned, and the family that struggled for survival throughout the uncertain war years is now together. But family life settles into a routine, and Rachel, unsatisfied, starts to yearn for more.

Melly, Rachel's eldest daughter, is a child of the war. She grew up in the bombed-out streets of Birmingham and has never known anything other than the hungry ration years and supporting her mother and younger brother, Tommy. But times are changing, and Melly now has a fresh future ahead of her. She's determined to make the most of life, and her greatest wish is to become a nurse.

As the gloom of the 1940s passes by and the promise of the 1950s dawns, a whole new world of opportunity opens up to Rachel and Melly - but with this comes new challenges and tough choices. They will both have to decide whether their loyalties still lie with the family and friends they clung to throughout the war years or if it's time to move on....

not what I was expecting

The illustration on the book leads you to believe nursing is a major part of the story but this is not the case. Never the less liked this gentle story very much and loved the tender portrayal of Tommy.
