Against A Crimson Sky (The Poland Trilogy, # 2) (2000) - Plot & Excerpts
This is the sequel to "Push not the River" which I absolutely loved. This one is just as good as Anna starts married life with Jan and they have two children. He has adopted her son Jan Michel. Then Napoleon begins his conquests and many Poles join with him in hopes that Poland may once again be a nation. Much heartache for Anna as Jan is gone for many years fighting and she has her own problems with a vicious man in her home town who has been threatening her and once again, cousin Zofia enters along with her problems. Anna's bravery as she deals with her husband being away for so long, and the trials of the people who have divided Poland and the hopes that she can somehow help regain Poland's boundaries, she works with local patriots. Another wonderful read by James Martin, highly recommended. There is a 3rd novel in the series. I just loved these two books! The first book was based one a journal, diary, and the second on the authors imagination. So obviously the first is more historically accurate about people's lives; however, I feel the author did a beautiful job continuing there lives as they would probably have unfolded. And he added a lot more war sciences most likely to keep in the theme of the original book of a historical novel. For those who don't like the war stuff it is easy to skim...wonderful book, tastefully doe no swearing, explicit sexual scenes, or anything else that could prove offensive.
