The Ghost Ship Signed Independent Bookshop Edition

Another meticulously researched and stunningly written novel by a much-loved and highly accomplished author. I adored it! -- Santa Montefiore
That rare thing, a novel with vast scope and ambition, brilliantly achieved, but also deeply personal, finely detailed and nuanced. I was utterly immersed in this spell-binding story -- Rosamund Lupton, author of Three Hours, on The City of Tears
A gorgeously written, utterly absorbing epic and, despite being set in the sixteenth century, has some very pertinent messages for our time about the evils of religious persecution and the transcendent power of love and family. In case it’s not clear enough yet, I absolutely LOVED it -- Lucy Foley, bestselling author of The Hunting Party and The Paris Apartment, on The City of Tears
The focus in her historical fiction has always been on the untold stories of women and Minou is an appealing heroine. Mosse includes all the ingredients you would expect from a historical epic – murder, treachery, lost children, stolen relics, buried secrets – but she also dramatizes the complexities of sixteenth-century French and Dutch politics without weighing it down. This is a compelling story of how political upheavals play out in individual lives -- Stephanie Merritt on The City of Tears * The Observer *
[A] dramatic, immersive tale of secrets, conspiracies, fanaticism and loss -- Daily Mail on The City of Tears
