Sample Book Insights: #1 The first Europeans to go south of the equator expected to find a sort of looking-glass world, backward but recognizable, like people who resembled them but walked on their hands. However, they were met with a different heavens and a different air. #2 I arrived in Paihia, the jewel of the Bay of Islands, and got off the bus. I stood on the pier and stared out at the sea, thinking about how different it was from the air in Boston. #3 For centuries, the map of the world showed a huge mysterious landmass to the south populated by men with funny hats or the heads of dogs, who wielded spears and prayed to idols. But despite European explorers’ efforts, the great South Land remained elusive. #4 The European explorers who visited the Pacific were always hoping to find some great place, but they often disappointed themselves. The Solomon Islands, Australia, and New Zealand were all uninhabited by a people who were friendly and hospitable.
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Mary Davies was born in London in 1665. She was the heiress to what would become some of the most valuable land in the world. She was married at the age of twelve to a Cheshire landowner nine years her senior. #2 Mary’s great-great uncle, Hugh Audley, was a lawyer who made his fortune as a usurer. He died in 1662, and six months after the birth of his daughter, Mary, he left a muddled inheritance of unfinished building works and debts. #3 The heiress-chasing business was beginning to get out of hand in the brutally carefree Restoration era. In 1665, the poet and libertine Lord Rochester absconded with an heiress named Elizabeth Malet. #4 The best man was the one who helped facilitate the groom’s seizure of the bride. Kidnapping was a live threat, but it was also a deadly game. The heiress, often characterized as a plain girl, was a willing elopee; the man who snatched her was her perverse salvation.

When she called me and told me that her father was dead, I was frozen with dread. I knew that Lisa needed me, so I flew home as fast as I could. #2 When I heard the news of Elvis’s death, I was shocked and grief-stricken. I didn’t want to call anyone because I didn’t want to alert the media. I sat there in my quiet apartment, in my grief and disbelief, and began to cry. #3 I was still crying when the news began to report on the death of Elvis Presley. I could feel his presence in the apartment, and I could remember the essence of who and what he was. He had breathed the same air as me. #4 I began to pack, and as the candles in my apartment began to burn low, I began to consider what Elvis would want me to wear at his funeral. I knew he would have approved of me wearing a lavender dress.
