Tamsen's Quest

De: Charles W. Ross

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Based on historical facts, our story begins in the Fall of 1723 in Dover, NH. That September dsy Tamsen’s world is shattered and turned upside down when her husband is killed and two of her children are abducted by an Abenaki raiding party. Now a widow, she is courted by two men. She refuses the rich and vain Thomas Waldron, who vows revenge. John, the other suitor, proposes as Waldron buys her farm and sets to drive Tamsen and her seven other children from the colony.

Her resourceful daughter, Rachel, taken by the Abenaki, saves a warrior’s life, learns Abenaki, is taught Indian healing ways, and becomes trusted by the tribe. Always, searching for her sister, Anne, Rachel arrives at the Indian village and treats the sick. The tribe’s Shaman, who despises all English, throws a tomahawk at her back.

“Connoisseurs of historical fiction will take delight in Tamsen’s Quest, the debut novel from Charles Ross. This astonishing story of two unforgettable women, a mother and daughter separated by cataclysmic events in pre-revolutionary New England, is both powerful and enlightening.”

So very disappointed

This is narrated by AI. No inflection in the voice , mispronounced words, difficult to separate the characters. I could only get through chapter 9. It’s truly a shame, as I believe the story line has promise.

Fantastic Novel - Decent Audio

Audio Performance - This is read by AI. I only recommend this audio version if you don't have time to actually sit and read this book. The computer generated voice mispronounces many words and doesn't give much of a performance. There's even one section that gets cut out from the book due to an error.

Story - I highly recommend this book if you are interested in the time period right before the American revolution. You will learn about Native American culture and experience life for the settlers living in New England. The narrative itself is thrilling - Each chapter leaves you on a significant cliffhanger. Even more surprising that this narrative is based on historical events!
