Lydia
ISBN: 9781456413002 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lydia tells her side of her marriage to the notorious petty criminal, Henry Tufts (1748 - 1831). She bore him six children and raised 5 of them at a time when women could not own property, vote, or have much to say about circumstances of their own lives. Language used is Lydia's, as is her opinion of things that affect her life. Her story, as imagined by the author, should interest her descendents, because not much has ever been written about her.
