Freeborn Girls

By Sally Keeble

Genre:-Historical/Contemporary Time Slip

Pages:-288

Blurb:-"Did life ever deal you a real wild card?"

It's June 2019 and London's in turmoil. But steely MP Frances Quilter is distracted from affairs of state by affairs of the heart: a new love affair and the demands of her ailing mother.

 So, when trouble erupts on the Cooper, a sink estate in her south London constituency, Frances misjudges the public mood-with fatal consequences. Disaster looms.

Once the Cooper estate was idyllic farmland, beloved home of the Gardiner family. But when the English Civil War erupts, the farm is attacked and the family members scattered. One, a feisty girl called Elizabeth, is sold as an indentured labourer and in 1643 boards a sailing ship for the perilous voyage to America.

 In "Freedom Girls," former MP Sally Keeble weaves a captivating story of intrigue, love and adventure following the fortunes of Frances and Elizabeth: two women separated by almost 400 years of history-but linked by a twist of fate. Can Frances salvage her career, or her love affair? Does Elizabeth survive? And who's the enigmatic American who arrives in London to intern for Frances that eventful summer?

 A page-turner of a timeslip novel for readers of historical fiction books about women finding freedom in tough times

My Review:-'What does Freedom really mean?' Two women. Two Storylines. 400 years apart. Elizabeth Gardiner was on the Speedwell not sure what was going to happen to her. Ezekiel is shouting that he had paid for a boy, yet stood before him was Elizabeth, someone he didn't want. But Agnes, Ezekiel wife speaks up that Elizabeth would be a great help for her, she'll be able to help with her children and then when you has the new baby that she was carrying she can help with that as well.

 Frances Quilter MP is in her office on the third floor in Portcullis House Parliament, shaking hands with Stephanie Gardiner, her American intern. Two incredible and fascinating stories of freedom. I loved learning and reading about the history of London.
