Omschrijving

"This historical mystery is compelling from the very first line." - Independent Book Review

"Records of a Voyage is a moving story spanning the years 1885 to 1936. It shows how family secrets can have lasting effects over generations, and the social challenges that women faced during that era." - Readers' Favorite

From the cotton mills of Lancashire to the sands of Egypt, Records of a Voyage tells the story of one family's unraveling secrets.

In 1885, Sara Ann Arkwright, a cotton mill worker, meets a wealthy man who changes the course of her life. Their secret love affair sets in motion a chain of events that echoes through generations.

Decades later, in 1936, Cynthia Arkwright sets sail on a luxury cruise from London to Egypt. She hopes the voyage will bring her family closer-but aboard ship, her father wrestles with personal demons, while tensions flare between Cynthia and her controlling mother.

As the Arkwrights journey toward the mystical pyramids of Giza and back, long-buried secrets surface. When past and present collide, a devastating truth comes to light-one that shatters everything they thought they knew.

"Readers embark on the cruise with this family and join their sense of wonder, discovery, and angst as the voyage unfolds. The long-buried family secrets which emerge against this backdrop reveal differences, pressures, and insights readers won't expect as the lives of ancestor Sara Ann and future relative Cynthia unfold and interconnect like puzzle pieces." - D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

"Records of a Voyage by Katherine Williams takes its time. But that is exactly the point. It perfectly demonstrates that some truths cannot be rushed, rather, they must travel the full distance before they are finally ready to be told. It is a book of secrets, yes, but also a book of wonder that will leave you breathless!" - D. K. Marley, The Historical Fiction Company
