A silk dress. A collection of books in a chest of pecious treasures. What brought them together aboard a ship that sank off the Dutch island of Texel?
In 1606, Anne Lambe marries England's new ambassador to Constantinople and leaves her old life behind. In a city where gifts open doors and imperial favour offers uncertain protection, her intelligence and extraordinary needlework earn her a place among powerful women. But her husband's ambitions, and the political intrigues that surround him, threaten their life together.
Three decades later, another ambassador arrives with his formidable wife, seeking refuge from the coming war in England. In the embassy, the possessions of their predecessors lie forgotten. Mehmet, who has served a succession of English ambassadors, remembers the people who once owned them. As England descends into civil war, those belongings begin their final journey.
Drawing on archival letters, historical research and the archaeological discoveries of the Palmwood Wreck, The Silk & The Sea is a historical investigation into the importance of the things we leave behind.

After studying English and Drama at university, Jan managed a bookshop for two years before returning to the theatre. She worked across Europe as a stage manager and lighting designer, then spent a decade at the Sydney Opera House. She later produced events for the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.
Her crime novels, Exposure (set in Nova Scotia) and We Can't All Die Like Buddy Holly (a UK regional crime story), deliver psychological suspense with unusual characters.
Writing as Jessika Jenvieve, she created the CyberCat series, where adventure blends feline mischief with wit and imagination.
In a new departure, Jan has turned to historical fiction with The Silk & The Sea, published alongside its Dutch edition, De Zijde & De Zee, both inspired by the Palmwood Wreck and her volunteer work as a museum guide on Texel.
