"Jacky is such a marvelous creation that the other characters feel shadowy in comparison, and the least engaging parts of the novel involve her secret romance with a fellow ship's boy. Capped by a fitting but bittersweet ending, the first-person narrative shines, and a wealth of historical research is seamlessly knitted into the material. A first-rate read."Meyer, Louis A. is the author of 'Bloody Jack Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary Jacky Faber, Ship's Boy' with ISBN 9780152050856 and ISBN 015205085X.
