Blurb: “Set against the backdrop of revolution and political upheaval, Lydia Bailey by Kenneth Roberts is a sweeping historical novel that takes readers from the shores of post-Revolutionary America to the tumultuous landscapes of Haiti and North Africa in the early 19th century.
This 1947 Doubleday hardback edition tells the story of Albion Hamlin, a young American lawyer who embarks on a dangerous journey to Haiti in search of the elusive and captivating Lydia Bailey. Along the way, he becomes entangled in the violent struggle for Haitian independence, led by figures like Toussaint Louverture, and later finds himself caught in the conflicts of the Barbary Wars. With Roberts’ signature attention to historical detail, vivid character development, and gripping adventure, Lydia Bailey brings history to life in a way few novels can.
A must-have for collectors of historical fiction, fans of Kenneth Roberts’ works, and readers fascinated by richly researched tales of war, love, and survival.”
