Cape Cod
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A tale of two families, both carried by the Mayflower across stormy seas, both destined to generations of proud leadership, shameful intrigue, and passion for the sandy crest of land that became their heritage. "Engrossing ... entertaining ... the perfect book to take to the beach." --Boston Herald This is the story of the Bigelow and Hilyard clans, from their first years on America's shores, through the fury of her wars and the glory of her triumphs, to our own time when young Geoff Hilyard must fight to save both his marriage to a Bigelow heir and the windswept coast he loves. It is a struggle that will take him deep into the past, to a centuries-old feud that never died ... and on a dangerous quest for a priceless relic of American history that has lain hidden in the Cape for over two hundred years. "Ingeniously schemed ... riveting." ―Christian Science Monitor

I picked this novel up in a bookstore by Plymouth, MA which is an area where my family enjoys visiting in the summer. Reminiscent of Ken Follett’s writing, this historical novel takes place from the 1600’s right up into the 1980’s. I really enjoyed following the historical parts of the novel but the current day mystery lost my interest towards the end. It was hard to follow the different characters through the generations so I was glad for the extensive genealogy.
