It’s England, 1783. When the rich and beautiful Sovay isn’t sitting for portraits, she’s donning a man’s cloak and robbing travelers—in broad daylight. But in a time when political allegiances between France and England are strained, a rogue bandit is not the only thing travelers fear. Spies abound, and rumors of sedition can quickly lead to disappearances. So when Sovay lifts the wallet of one of England’s most powerful and dangerous men, it’s not just her own identity she must hide, but that of her father. A dazzling historical saga in which the roles of thieves and gentry, good and bad, and men and women are interchanged to riveting effect.

Not bad for a historical novel. But by far not as captivating as "Pirates". I stopped after 224 pages because I have so many books on pile and reading time is precious.

Well, it is based off of a folk song, and I love when people take something like that and reinvent it or spin it into a wholly realized novel, but this one fell short of my expectations. It never really grabbed my interest, I never connected with the protagonists and I did not care for the style ove...
