Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary "Jacky" Faber, Ship's Boy by L.A. Meyer

4.0

I read this for an upcoming book club. I really liked it. It is written in the first person, always my favorite, and the author is brilliant at writing in a "guttersnipe" dialect. It took a little while for me to get in the rytham of it, but I loved it right from the start. The story is so cute, kind of an English seaman version of Disney's Mulan. The romance was sweet. I laughed out loud in parts. The only part I didn't like...when she is finally "discovered" it brushed over a lot of things. I was a little disappointed in that aspect, but still overall a superb book
