The Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse
From Kate Mosse, the number one Sunday Times bestselling Joubert Family Chronicles series continues with The Ghost Ship, a thrilling tale of piracy and a sweeping historical epic about love in a time of war.
That rare thing, a novel with vast scope and ambition, brilliantly achieved, but also deeply personal, finely detailed and nuancedI was utterly immersed in this spell-binding story -- Rosamund Lupton on The City of Tears
A gorgeously written, utterly absorbing epic and, despite being set in the sixteenth century, has some very pertinent messages for our time about the evils of religious persecution and the transcendent power of love and family. In case it’s not clear enough yet, I absolutely LOVED it -- Lucy Foley on The City of Tears
The focus in her historical fiction has always been on the untold stories of women and Minou is an appealing heroine. Mosse includes all the ingredients you would expect from a historical epic – murder, treachery, lost children, stolen relics, buried secrets – but she also dramatizes the complexities of sixteenth-century French and Dutch politics without weighing it down. This is a compelling story of how political upheavals play out in individual lives -- Stephanie Merritt * The Observer *
[A] dramatic, immersive tale of secrets, conspiracies, fanaticism and loss -- Daily Mail on The City of Tears
