(2) 4-6 In this work set alternately now and in 1803–06, Cooper tells parallel stories of eleven-year-old Londoner Molly Jennings, who moves to Connecticut, and young Sam Robbins, a "powder monkey" on Lord Nelson's ship HMS Victory. Cooper's deep, organic interweaving of themes of memory and heritage, dream and bereavement, and her imagery of the sea and sailing make this a powerful novel.
