À propos de cet audio

The next in the #1 Sunday Times bestselling series, New York Times bestseller Kate Mosse returns with The Ghost Ship, a sweeping historical epic about love in a time of war.

The Ghost Ship floats silently on the water, all guns silenced, all voices quiet. In the hold, the bodies of men who are dead or dying, those who hid. The waters off the Barbary Coast are home to more privateers than any other, and now, this ship’s hull is splintered, the sails tattered and, burnt, its gold coins and bullion seized as the spoils of war. On board is the Huguenot leader of the Siege of St Rochelle, forced to flee the city in 1628, and the legendary and feared commander of the ship, kidnapped as a child from the island of Tenerife. Both know their fate. If they are arrested, they will be tried, condemned and hung for their crimes.

But things are not what they seem. For the bravest of those on board are, in fact, women living in disguise: Louise Joubert, to escape a family feud several generations old; and Anna Van Raay, fleeing a miscarriage of justice that would see her taken to the gallows. Both women know that, whatever happens, they cannot allow their identities to be discovered.

The Ghost Ship—the third in The Burning Chambers series—continues the story of the Joubert family and their descendants. A thrilling adventure story of piracy and revenge, lost treasure and family secrets, it ranges from France and Amsterdam to the Canary Islands, and across the high seas.

Having read the other books in this series, I felt a sense of deja vu throughout the story -as if I had heard it all before. Even the phrases: I believe the exact series of words- and ideas -were used more than once even in this book. While I understand the relevance of the roles of women, sexual orientation, and identity of the characters today - and appreciate that these factors were worked into the story, I found the actual story boring. Mosse's other books held a tension that this one lacks.
