The Girl in the Mask by Marie-Louise Jensen

The Girl in the Mask by Marie-Louise Jensen

'Stand and Deliver! Hand over your valuables if you value your life!' Sophia's duty is clear. Look pretty, behave well, and find a husband as soon as possible. But Sophia hates the social whirl of balls and masquerades, so under the cover of darkness, she secretly swaps her ball gowns for breeches, and turns to highway robbery.

'Terrifically exciting stuff, somewhat in the vein of Celia Rees's splendid novel Sovay, but with a dash of Georgette Heyer added to the mix' * Amanda Craig, Times *
'With feisty heroines and rich period details, Jensen is one of the best historical writers around' * The Bookseller *
