About Kim Sherwood and Kate Mosse in conversation!
About The Ghost Ship
Ranging from France to the Canary Islands, the third engrossing instalment of the Joubert Family Chronicles follows a courageous band of mariners committed to rescuing those enslaved by pirates.
"Gripping, thrilling, a spectacular work of reimagining; a beautiful book about love, courage, suffering, and a world in which everything was on a knife edge... a whole world recreated". - Kate Williams
About A Wild & True Relation
A Wild & True Relation opens during the Great Storm of 1703, as smuggler Tom West confronts his lover Grace for betraying him to the Revenue. Leaving Grace's cottage in flames, he takes her orphaned daughter Molly on board ship disguised as a boy to join his crew. But Molly, or Orlando as she must call herself, will grow up to outshine all the men of Tom's company and seek revenge - and a legacy - all of her own.
"This book is a rarity - a novel as remarkable for the vigour of the storytelling as for its literary ambition. Kim Sherwood is a writer of capacity, potency and sophistication." - Hilary Mantel
