“The Foundlings and the Fisherman from Tumby” by Phillip Leighton-Daly is a compelling historical novel that keeps readers engaged from start to finish.
Jon and Margaret Treves, anti-slavery supporters, endure unimaginable tragedy when their hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, falls victim to Captain William Quantrillโs ruthless attack. In the aftermath, they lose their twin sons, Joseph and Jacob, and are forced to flee, leaving their home behind.
Seeking a fresh start, the couple sets sail for Australia, but their journey is anything but smooth. Their voyage aboard the Morning Mist is fraught with hardship, testing their resilience at every turn. What would happen when Margaret would contract leprosy, a disease she had chosen to treat. How will they navigate this new challenge? The answers lie within the pages of this gripping novel.
Told primarily from Jonโs first-person perspective before transitioning to third-person narration, the storytelling is immersive and emotionally charged. The prose is fluid and compelling, with striking imagery woven throughout the chapters, enriching the reading experience.
If you’re looking for a well-crafted historical tale of survival, sacrifice, and hope, this book is an excellent choice.
