A warehouse accident hurls Lin Jiayan, a young man from Wenzhou, into England in 1670. He becomes fourteen-year-old Francis Nicholson and activates the Homecoming System.
Going home is his sole obsession, but every step along the way brings a new trial.
Starting in desperate straits, starving and freezing with nothing to his name, he finds a foothold at Pollett House and joins the turbulent English army.
His journey begins in Yorkshire, takes him through the battlefields of Flanders and the fortress of Tangier, and finally carries him across the ocean to the North American colonies.
The boy who was single-mindedly seeking a way home is swept up in the tides of his age. Rising step by step from humble page to governor, he ultimately takes the highest office.
This novel is based on archival material about the real historical figure Francis Nicholson (1655-1728) and is a literary extension of the author's master's thesis research.
Nice book!
Love to watch,
