The Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse
5.0
Oh my soul, this book is an adventure and then some more!
Louise Reydon-Joubert is meant for the sea, even though it’s not meant to be(in this time of history). This does not stop her, as she takes ownership of the Old Moon and dreams of being the captain one day. Spoiler, she does sorry!
On the other hand we have Gilles Barenton. ‘She lost her twin when she was young and her mother wanting in on her brothers fortune, she forces her to become Gilles her dead brother in order to stay in her brothers good books. This does work, as his uncle treats Gilles as his own son, but Gilles can never let go of this secret.
These two characters path crosses in a heart wrenching manner, but it gives them the opportunity to open themselves up to new adventures.
This story is filled with:
forbidden love,
the role of a proper woman,
slavery/slave trade,
death and how to characters deal with it.
This was my first read in the Joubert Family Chronicles and I hope to read the previous two books soon!
