In a rented room outside Plymouth in 1685, a daughter is born as her half-brother is dying. Her mother makes a decision: Mary will become Mark, and Ma will continue to collect his inheritance money.<\/p>\n
Mary’s dual existence as Mark will lead to a role as a footman in a grand house, serving a French mistress; to the navy, learning who to trust and how to navigate by the stars; and to the army and the battlegrounds of Flanders, finding love among the bloodshed and the mud. But none of this will stop Mary yearning for the sea.<\/p>\n
Drawn back to the water, Mary must reinvent herself yet again, for a woman aboard a ship is a dangerous thing. This time Mary will become something more dangerous than a woman.<\/p>\n
She will become a pirate.<\/p>\n
Breathing life into the Golden Age of Piracy,\u00a0Saltblood<\/i>\u00a0is a wild adventure, a treasure trove, weaving an intoxicating tale of gender and survival, passion and loss, journeys and transformation, through the story of Mary Read, one of history’s most remarkable figures.<\/p>\n
’Saltblood\u00a0<\/i>is exquisite. The writing is sumptuous and lyrical, the story fascinating’<\/b>
