In this haunting tale of the coils of the human heart, Mary Sharratt offers us an extraordinary reading experience, one that takes us on a journey into the wilderness not only of the early Colonial era, but also of the uncharted territories that each of us hide within ourselves.
English-born sisters May and Hannah Powers are as distinct as two sisters can be, yet each shares the same yearning: to free themselves of the archaic restrictions imposed on them by their 17th century world. While beautiful, head-strong and promiscuous May finds herself dispatched to an arranged marriage in colonial America, young Hannah turns into her self, becoming a secret healer and caretaker for their ailing father. Hannah?s eventual passage to join her sister leads her into the tangled skein of the past, where a dark secret surrounds May?s disappearance and the grief-stricken plantation where she once lived. The transplanted social mores of Europe do not take root easily in a vast new world where the ?earth demands blood? and the vanishing point of the novel?s title becomes an evocative motif for the sisters? compelling struggle to redefine themselves both as women and human beings. With graceful prose and a poet?s eye for the inner pilgrimage of the soul, Sharratt interweaves a medley of voices and landscapes into a powerfully prescient tale of devotion and betrayal, loss and hope.
