The Ghost Ship

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.

Another meticulously researched and stunningly written novel by a much-loved and highly accomplished author. I adored it!

Beautifully written and engaging from the first page, keeping you guessing until the end

The Ghost Ship is utterly absorbing. I couldn’t put it down and fell in love with her two main characters, and felt bereft when it ended

Gripping, thrilling, a spectacular work of scholarly reimagining, The Ghost Ship is a beautiful book about two women, about love, courage, suffering, and a world in which everything was on a knife edge. A stunning novel, a whole world recreated

Transporting, intelligent, heartwarming and intriguing, this is historical fiction at its finest

Wonderful, rip roaringly adventurous and full of indelible characters. Mosse is a conjurer

Appositely placed in the past – this compelling tale of women on a mission to be seen and heard is a tale for today. Page turning

A gripping, thrilling page turner

Mosse's fans will relish this tale of secrets, love and treachery

A gorgeously written, utterly absorbing epic . . . I absolutely LOVED it
