The Winthrop Woman by Anya Seton

The Winthrop Woman by Anya Seton

Set in 17th-century England and the new American colonies, this is the story of Bess. Bess is forced to leave her comfortable life in Suffolk and join the rest of her family in New England. Here she faces hardship and sickness, and her uncle tries to force her to marry a man she does not know.

Anya Seton was born in New York City and grew up on her father's large estate in Cos Cob and Greenwich, Connecticut, where visiting Indians taught her Indian dancing and woodcraft. One Sioux chief called her Anutika, which means 'cloud grey eyes', a name which the family shortened to Anya. She was educated by governesses, and then travelled abroad, first to England, then to France where she hoped to become a doctor. She studied for a while at the Hotel Dieu hospital in Paris before marrying at eighteen and having three children. She began writing in 1938 with a short story sold to a newspaper syndicate and the first of her novels was published in 1941. She died in 1990.
