About this listen

Can a religious separatist and an opportunistic spy make it in the New World?

Mary Elizabeth Chapman boards the Speedwell in 1620 as a Separatist seeking a better life in the New World. William Lytton embarks on the Mayflower as a carpenter looking for opportunities to succeed - and he may have found one when a man from the Virginia Company offers William a hefty sum to keep a stealth eye on company interests in the new colony.

The season is far too late for good sailing and storms rage, but reaching land is no better as food is scarce and the people are weak. Will Mary Elizabeth survive to face the spring planting and unknown natives? Will William be branded a traitor and expelled?

Great narrator, so-so story

The historical aspect of this book is very interesting, but it feels like every other paragraph is filled with scripture or prayer.

Bring on the Mayflower!!!

This is a good book for late night listening because it gets my attention and keeps it! I have tried to limit myself to only a few chapters at a time....I failed miserably...I was enjoying it too much to close it down. I don't sleep well at night so this was perfect for me. The house is quiet and my body is ready for rest but my mind will not shut off.. It is at times such as these that I reach for a good book. I have had several eye surgeries, thus, how wonderful it was to pick up "my book" and relax! The Mayflower Bride keeps me wanting more. I'm ready for the next book in the series.

If You Like Historical Sagas

This is excellent if you like Historical Sagas. There are too many characters in the beginning but if you hang in, it becomes very interesting.

As a romance, the conflict between Mary Elizabeth and William does not exist. The tension comes about in the last 45 minutes of the book. The spiritual conflict is weak. But the author does show the love of God for all, the impotence of remaining non-judgmental, and forgiveness. The historical content took over the first part of the book.

Sarah Zimmerman as narrator didn’t help the pacing because her tone stays the same all the way through.

Enjoyed it

I enjoyed this story very much. I have been doing my genealogy over the last several years. And I discovered that my 10 times great grandfather is William Bradford. So, it was very exciting to hear him spoke of in this book. It actually has been very exciting to Read other books and stories in which he is in.

Too much romance, not enough historical details

Not for me. I’m not a fan of romance novels, but if it’s your genre, this may be for you. I liked the narration
