Published in 1972, this biographical novel chronicles the extraordinary life of Amonute, known to history as Pocahontas, from her childhood in the powerful Powhatan Confederacy through her fateful encounters with the English settlers of Jamestown, her captivity, her conversion, her marriage to John Rolfe, and her tragically short life in England as a celebrated New World curiosity. Garnett presents her story with empathy and rigour, cutting through centuries of myth to illuminate a young woman of remarkable intelligence and resilience caught between two irreconcilably different worlds.\n\nGarnett, a celebrated member of the Bloomsbury Group and author of the Hawthornden Prize-winning Lady into Fox, brings his characteristic elegance and psychological acuity to this narrative, investing a well-worn legend with fresh moral complexity and human depth. His prose is precise yet evocative, anchoring grand historical forces in the intimate details of one woman's experience. The result is a portrait that unsettles comfortable assumptions about conquest, cultural encounter, and the lives of women in the early colonial era — leaving the reader to wonder how differently history might remember Pocahontas had she lived to tell her own story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342778212571,"sku":"2026200016052-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d20b6d17-a6bf-4bf6-b4a5-8fdcf421486f.png?v=1790049304","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016052-secondhand-pocahontas-or-the-nonparell-of-virginia","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
