In 1631 Elizabeth Winthrop, newly widowed with an infant daughter, set sail for the New World. Against a background of rigidity and conformity she dared to befriend Anne Hutchinson at the moment of her banishment from the Massachusetts Bay Colony; dared to challenge a determined army captain bent on the massacre of her friends, the Siwanoy Indians; and, above all, dared to love a man as her heart and her whole being commanded. And so, as a response to this almost unmatched courage and vitality, Governor John Winthrop came to refer to this woman in the historical records of the time as his "unregenerate niece".
Anya Seton's riveting historical novel portrays the fortitude, humiliation, and ultimate triumph of the Winthrop woman, who believed in a concept of happiness transcending that of her own day.

As for Corrie James' narration, I found it to be well-paced, clear and easy to follow, as far as different character voices go. It was nothing wonderful but also nothing that took away from the book.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Winthrop Woman to be better than the print version?
I would have a difficult time trying to read a novel anymore, so I cannot make a true comparison.Who was your favorite character and why?
Of course, Bess ! She is a direct multi-great grandmother of mine via her Feake husband. I had been looking for a way to find this historical novel presented in a manner that I could listen to while going about my household activities. I am so thrilled to find all the facts of her life brought to life by this novel.Which character – as performed by Corrie James – was your favorite?
Well, who couldn't love William Hallet ?Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It touched my heart. There were times I cried and times I laughed a bit. There were sometimes I felt disappointed in the characters' reactions. Mostly [being a genealogist] I was in awe of this ancestor's great - but very human - character. She makes me proud and more understanding.Any additional comments?
I would still like to be able to find the old movie made from this novel.My ancestor Elizabeth 'Bess' Fones Winthrop Feak H
