The Outrageous Fortune of Abel Morgan
The Outrageous Fortune of Abel Morgan | Cynthia Jefferies
3 posts | 1 read | 5 to read
1660, England. War is at an end, yet for Christopher Morgan his personal conflict rages on. Haunted by the tragic death of his wife, Christopher is desperate to escape the pain her memory brings, although looking into the eyes of his young son, Abel, he cannot help but be reminded of what he has lost. Over time, father and son develop a strong bond until they are callously torn apart when Abel is snatched by smugglers and sold overseas. From the shores of Constantinople to the coast of Jamaica, time and tide keep them apart. Christopher will sail across oceans to find Abel, never losing faith that one day they will be reunited, and, as the years pass, Abel will learn that fortune favours the brave.

Pickpick

ripping yarn of pirates, adventure, desperation and love. It doesn‘t shy away from the harsh realities of slavery, servants and abuse, but it does not sensationalise them.

Abel learns to be a surgeon, comes into money but his life isn‘t all it could be with betrayal and tragedy. a story of Abel‘s life, from weak baby to a grown man and all between.

A totally unputdownable masterpiece of historical fiction with a difference …there will be tears
