John Lofting was Dutch, and moved to London in the wake of William and Mary in 1688, to take advantage of the exciting new opportunities open to inventors, merchants and manufacturers. John Lofting was all of these. He utilised the emerging banking system, and stock market, but he did not bargain for the politics of the Crown"s imperial ambitions in New Jersey having a fundamental effect upon him. The essence of this story is true, and the main characters are real, though some of his encounters are fictional additions representing his life and times. It is a story punctuated by love and friendship and the power of people to provide strength and support to each other in the worst of times. Anyone who is fascinated by London, or the birth of American society, and global issues and who recognises the importance of family will identify with this story.
