Description
Covers a thousand years of Jersey history. Starting in the 1890s with the author's four Victorian great-grandparents: Alfred Le Riche, Anne Vardon, Edouard Le Brocq and Sophie De Gruchy, then jumps back to the Vikings of the 890s and uses members of her extended family tree to illustrate daily life at a hundred year intervals. This tapestry of stories celebrates family life throughout the centuries and captures the true character of a unique island.
