Based on historical fact, this is the story of a family of
Huguenots who were smuggled across the channel in wine barrels in
the year of 1710 to escape religious persecution in France. On
arrival in London, they find sanctuary in the crypt of the
protestant church in Threadneedle Street in the City of London. As
the Bank of England's first governor was a Huguenot, money was made
available for many refugee families to set up businesses. Once
these businesses were profitable, the loans were paid back to the
Huguenot funds. This was the true account for Henri de Portals who
was smuggled across the channel in a wine barrel with his siblings
and landed in Southampton. Henri was the man who set up the
original paper mill in early 1700. The story of the family that I
have included in this novel joined his workforce. The family in the
story had to overcome many dangers and difficulties in setting up a
home where they could grow up and enjoy their new found freedom,
finally finding both love and happiness.
