Magical Tome

The outer archives are busy
Forced to leave their native England, the Andrews family books passage to a fresh start in a distant country, only to discover a barren, inhospitable land at the end of their crossing. To seventeen-year-old Lavinia, uprooted from everything familiar, it seems a fate worse than the one they left behind. Driven by loneliness she begins a journal. This is the saga of families and of individuals in their migration to Newfoundland: of acquisitive Mary Bundle; of charming Ned whose thievery has turned his family into exiles; of mad Ida; of Thomas Hutchings, who might be an aristocrat, a holy man or a murderer; and of Lavinia who wrote down the truth and lies about them all.
