When I was first introduced to All Shall Be Well, I had not yet met Richard Essberger, its author. We had, however, been in a correspondence about one of the characters in the book – Tessa Rowntree, who plays a small but pivotal role in the story. The Rowntree Society, where I work, was interested in finding out more about Tessa, as well as her cousin Jean, and other Quaker colleagues who worked with Czech refugees immediately prior to world war two.
