The Tobacco Lords Trilogy par Margaret Thom Davis

An excellent read that was discovered by accident. The engaging story of two women and thier familys involved in the tobacco trade in the early 1700's in Scotland who set sail for America. With details of life, fashion, class, and emotions elegantly written with superb descriptions, everything that makes a historical novel a hard to put down read.
