If you liked Patrick O'Brian's epic Aubrey/Maturin series, Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See, or Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club, you'll love 1836.
Europe, beautiful and cultured, is roiling in post-Napoleonic chaos...
...the only way out is to cross a dangerous ocean.
Can this desperate family reach the shores of America?
In 1836, Europe is still haunted by the Napoleonic Wars, and battle-weary veterans get the worst of it. Reactionary rulers everywhere try to snuff out the very idea of freedom...and those who treasure it.
One man, Niklas Kästner, knows they must go. But he and his mercurial Katrina must somehow make the journey safe for all of the family, including the children. To reach the sea. To find a ship. To survive the voyage.
This is the story of the author's immigrant ancestors, like those of millions of Americans, and the chances they took, the lives at stake.
