Jan de Hartog - The Peaceable Kingdom:
The Holy Experiment
1754 - 1755
This is an excellent, well-written work of historical fiction in which the author draws the reader into the world of the Quakers, from their start in 17th century England, as a much persecuted group, to their passage into the new world and their part in the creation of Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. The author masterfully introduces the reader to the tenets of the Quakers and how, as a religion, it evolved into what it stands for today. It was fascinating and well done, fully immersed in the historical context out of which it developed with interesting characters, some real and some fictional. For those who enjoy the historical fiction genre, the author takes the reader into a little known segment of history and brings it vividly to life. It is definitely well worth reading.
