Omschrijving

The Fall of Bellwether is the winner of the Amity Literary Prize awarded by Anamcara Press and was a finalist in the ScreenCraft's Cinematic Novel Competition, 2023.

The author transports readers to 1841 Midwest, immersing them in a world of duplicity and struggle. A mother and daughter fight against abandonment and starvation, their resilience challenges the very fabric of the town's beliefs. With its vividly depicted setting, well-developed characters, and thought-provoking themes, this historical fiction masterpiece weaves a mesmerizing tale of love, forgiveness, and the power of unity. Step into the pages and discover the strength that can be found even in the darkest of times.

The novel opens with a riveting scene, the moment of Elinor's impending execution. The narrative paints a stark picture of the town's hypocrisy-as the same people who once attended church with Ada, now act as judge, jury, and executioners.

With masterful strokes, the author breathes life into the people of Bellwether, capturing the intricate web of relationships-Sarah and Hiram whose love is forbidden, and Eva and Uriah who open the door to forgiveness. Authentic dialogue draws readers into this exquisitely sculpted tale that exalts love, forgiveness, and communal bonds. A literary gem that stands as a testament to the indomitable resilience of the human spirit.
