A Place of Birds

Nineteen-year-old Susanna Elliot rebels against her strict Quaker background which alienates her from her family and community. She is rejected by the doctor she admires and is refused permission to take her dead brother's place in the family business and so she flees to join her two cousins on their mission to China.

All three leave Falmouth for Shanghai aboard a schooner owned by Lowell Hawke whose daring exploits have made him a legend along the Chinese coast.

And so begins a dramatic story of danger and love to which every reader will thrill. Jane Jackson has written a truly memorable novel.
