"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', published 2002 under ISBN 9780152167318 and ISBN 0152167315.
