The Rebellion of Jane Clarke is my favorite of the trilogy of pre-Revolutionary War novels by Sally Gunning. Jane Clarke is an honest and expressive heroine, and the riveting historical elements — including the Boston Massacre and descent into madness of famous patriot James Otis — add depth to the story.I heartily agree with this sentiment written by Geraldine Brooks on the jacket cover.
"Beautifully researched and ardently imagined, Gunning's writing is so vivid you can taste the salt in the Cape Cod air . . . Her Satucket novels are destined to become classics."
