About the book:
Set during the turbulent historical upheavals that shaped America’s destiny and following in the tradition of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, the novel All the World Beside reveals the very human lives just beneath the surface of dogmatic belief. This page-turning, vividly imagined historical tale is both a love story and a crucible.
