Add to GR Button

Whither Thou Goest is the seventh book in Anna Belfrage’s series featuring time traveller Alexandra Lind and her seventeenth century husband, Matthew Graham.

In their rural home in the Colony of Maryland, Matthew and Alex Graham are still recovering from the awful events of the previous years when Luke Graham, Matthew’s estranged brother, asks them for a favour.

Alex has no problems whatsoever ignoring Luke’s sad plea for help. In her opinion Matthew’s brother is an evil excuse of a man who deserves whatever nasty stuff fate throws at him. Except, as Matthew points out, Luke is begging them to save his son – his misled Charlie, one of the Monmouth rebels – and can Charlie Graham be held responsible for his father’s ill deeds?

So off they go on yet another adventure, this time to the West Indies to find a young man neither of them knows but who faces imminent death on a sugar plantation, condemned to slavery for treason. The journey is hazardous and along the way Alex comes face to face with a most disturbing ghost from her previous life, a man she would much have preferred never to have met.

Time is running out for Charlie Graham, Matthew is haunted by reawakened memories of his days as an indentured servant, and then there’s the eerie Mr Brown, Charlie’s new owner, who will do anything to keep his secrets safe, anything at all.

Will Matthew deliver his nephew from imminent death? And will they ever make it back home?

About the AuthorAnna Belfrage

I was raised abroad, on a pungent mix of Latin American culture, English history and Swedish traditions. As a result I’m multilingual and most of my reading is historical – both non-fiction and fiction.

I was always going to be a writer – or a historian, preferably both. Instead I ended up with a degree in Business and Finance, with very little time to spare for my most favourite pursuit. Still, one does as one must, and in between juggling a challenging career I raised my four children on a potent combination of invented stories, historical debates and masses of good food and homemade cakes. They seem to thrive … Nowadays I spend most of my spare time at my writing desk. The children are half grown, the house is at times eerily silent and I slip away into my imaginary world, with my imaginary characters. Every now and then the one and only man in my life pops his head in to ensure I’m still there. I like that – just as I like how he makes me laugh so often I’ll probably live to well over a hundred.

I was always going to be a writer. Now I am – I have achieved my dream.

My Thoughts
I absolutely love this series. Reading an Anna Belfrage book is like a great cup of coffee, when you finish you are completely satisfied. This is the seventh book in the Graham Saga with Alexander Lind, time traveler living in the seventeenth century with her husband Matthew Graham. Together they have a large family with typical family situations. Their daughter Sarah, who wants nothing to do with the baby she bore because of a violent act upon her, son Samuel who is now living with an Indian tribe, daughter Ruth who is married to a minister and then there is David, who has a sense of adventure about him and a proclivity for getting into trouble. 

When Alex and Matthew receive a letter from Matt's brother Luke, who neither of them like Luke, as he was pretty vicious to Matt at one time, which you need to read about in an earlier book. He has requested their help in rescuing his son, Charlie. Charlie got in with the wrong crowd and was arrested for treason and sentenced to life as an indentured servant on a Caribbean Island. They accept the request and they are off to another adventure. An adventure fraught with danger. The Burley brothers are dead and can't harm them anymore but there are still unsavory, dangerous people out for the Graham family.

The Graham Saga is such a wonderful series, very well written, strong characters and accurate historical detail. A historical fiction, romance and suspense all in one! I highly recommend the whole series!
