Summary
Piracy. Romance. Revenge. Across the seas of the seventeenth century, two seafarers are forced to fight for their love and their lives. The sequel to The City of Tears, The Ghost Ship is the third novel in The Joubert Family Chronicles from bestselling author Kate Mosse.
The Barbary Coast, 1621. A mysterious vessel floats silently on the water. It is known only as the Ghost Ship. For months, its captain – Louise Reydon-Joubert – and her courageous crew has hunted pirates to liberate those enslaved during the course of their merciless raids.
But now the Ghost Ship is under attack – its hull splintered, its sails tattered and burnt, and the crew at risk of capture. But the bravest among them are not who they seem. Louise is fleeing a miscarriage of justice; her lover, Gilles Barenton, is at risk of being exposed – she is forced to masquerade as her brother. The stakes could not be higher: if arrested, they will be hanged for their crimes. Can they survive the journey and escape their fate?
A sweeping and epic queer love story, ranging from France in 1610 to Amsterdam and the Canary Islands in the 1620s, The Ghost Ship is a thrilling novel of adventure and buccaneering, love and revenge, stolen fortunes and hidden secrets on the High Seas. Most of all, it is a tale of defiant women in a man's world.

Excellent storytelling!
I loved this book. Ok, a little bit slow to start but so worth persevering. The characters are brought to life and the story of life at sea in a long-ago century is absorbing. Thoroughly recommend.

Captivating story-telling
Another fabulous historical novel from the brilliant Kate Mosse. Set in 17th century Europe, it tells the tale of two strong, adventurous women who forge a life together on the high seas despite the odds stacked against them. Riveting stuff, beautifully narrated.

Great story well read
With her usual thoroughness, Mosse presents an absorbing story. Good to see more women taking centre stage, and exploring queer themes with sensitivity.

What an excellent story.
This book took me back to the 1600’s with descriptions of life at that time and life on the open seas. The repression of women and the unfairness of the world at the time.

Sad it was the last of the trilogy!
I have waited on tenterhooks for each book in the trilogy, and none of them have disappointed- except by ending!
Fantastic book! Loved every minute!

Good listen with great narration
Oh how I looked forward to this ‘final’ book in the trilogy. Unfortunately as I’d usual these days there is rarely an end to a book. I really enjoyed the storylines but was a bit bemused by the lack of any clarity regarding the characters portrayed at the beginning of Book 1 and 2. They seem to have disappeared altogether. There was also a glossing over of what happened to some of the main characters that I felt a bit cheated. Too many years were jumped. At one point I thought I’d missed a chunk but no.
As I’ve invested so much time into these books I will have to carry on but I sometimes think it’s a way of making money.
That being said I did love the books and the narration was truly wonderful. Just wish everything had been tied up nicely in a bow. Hence 4 stars
