Adrian Tinniswood, OBE
speaking on his new book, The Rainborowes
More than a century before the American Revolution, Bostonians—and Boston ideals—played a role in overthrowing another English king. The Rainborowes bridges two generations and two worlds as it carries the reader back and forth across the Atlantic, between Boston and England, weaving together the lives of different members of the Rainborowe clan (including members of other prominent Boston families to whom they were related) as they struggle to forge a better life for themselves and a better future for humankind in the New World and in the Old, as colonists, entrepreneurs and idealists. The narrative unfolds between 1630 and 1660 – a time which shattered England and shaped America – and follows the fortunes of William Rainborowe, a formidable merchant-mariner and shipmaster, and his equally formidable sons and daughters. As it does, the reader comes to know and understand not only the lives and loves of a single family, but the dreams of an entire culture – confused and chaotic, catching hold of hope and losing its grip on old certainties.
Less we forget 75 years ago the brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice that preserved our freedom and personal liberty and saved Western Civilization. In the words of President Ronald Reagan at D-Day ceremonies in 1984:. "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
