“As a contribution to the cause of acquainting the world with Hebraic literature, ‘Sorrows of Noma’ comes as a valuable addition. But aside from the literary and classical considerations there is still a third value to this book. The human interest of it.” Rose Karsner

“This little book is intended as a memorial to the women who came in the Mayflower, and their comrades who came later in the Ann and the Fortune.... There is no attempt to make a genealogical study of any family. The effort is to reveal glimpses of the communal life during 1621–1623. This is supplemented by a few silhouettes of individual matrons and maidens.” (Foreword) Contents: Endurance and adventure; The voyage and landing; Communal and family life in Plymouth 1621–1623; Matrons and maidens who came in the “Mayflower”: Companions who arrived in the “Fortune” and the “Ann.” Index.
