The Bastard af John Jakes

  1. 00
    Parrot and Olivier in America af Peter Carey (Limelite)
    Limelite: Far, far better novel also set in Revolutionary War America. Humor, satire, and high adventure. Superb characterizations of the two protagonists.

Compelling read

This was one of the books I pillaged from the boxes of books stored in basement. In times of Pandemic you look just about anywhere for readable material. I knew i had read this before, but could not remember any of it-I am glad I found it.

This is a great family saga which begins in France and then travels to The American Colonies at the beginning of the unrest that led to The American Revolution. It is coincidence that I was also reading American Rebels: How the Hancock, Adams, and Quincy Families Fanned the Flames of Revolution at the same time. That actually added to the enjoyment of both books.

There is history, and romance and family drama. Sure to be a winner if you enjoy any of those genres. ( )

Loved reading this (and the entire series). Wonderful story-telling of American Revolutionary War days; publication seems to have been perfectly time for th 1976 Bi-centennial. Here's what I wrote upon reading in 1984: "First in John Jakes bicentenial series. French / English bastard escapes to America and joins in the fight for freedom." ( )

This is the first book of the Kent Family Chronicles as well as my first read from this author and I loved it. I now must acquire all nine books because this is just a start to this saga. I would highly recommend this author to all of the aspiring writers out there. This should be a must read for all of them because John Jakes is the master of not just story telling, but characterization. Everyone you meet in this story has a purpose and is three-dimensional.

I also have to praise the setting. This story envelopes the worlds of France, England and America. If you’re a fan of the American history, you’ll love meeting Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Adams and Paul Revere.

The three P’s are all checked out, and you’ll love the prose as much as the plot because the pace is fast and furious and I enjoyed every second of the ride the author offered.

If you’ve never read this novel, I highly recommend you do it.

The gentleman tells us that America is obstinate; that America is almost in open rebellion. Sir, I rejoice that America has resisted...
"The gentleman asks when were the colonies emancipated. But I desire to know when they were made slaves...
"They are subjects of this kingdom, equally entitled with ourselves to all the natural rights of mankind, and the peculiar privileges of Englishmen; equally bound by its laws, and equally participating in the Constitution of this free country. The Americans are the sons, not the bastards, of England."

1766:
William PItt the Elder,
before Parliament,
in support of repeal
of the Stamp Act.

The eight novels in this series, carrying the story of an American family forward from its beginning in Revolutionary times to the two-hundredth anniversary of the Republic, could only be dedicated, book by boo, to the eight Americans I love best of all.

And so, Rachel, this is for you.
