About this listen

Salt and Soil – Beginnings is a tale of love, set in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars, as two people come together to share their lives, in order to meet the demands and pleasures of their adjoining West Country estates.

Their story is intertwined with the adventures of their fleet of merchant vessels, extending amongst others to the island of Saint Helena, where an encounter takes place with Napoleon Bonaparte; to Buenos Aires, Argentina, innocently colluding in a rescue attempt of the Emperor; and to the island of Jamaica, bringing about an escape from rioting slaves.
