Robin Maxwell, a devotee of this promisingly ripe period of British history, launches a study of two women caught up in affairs plainly of their own making, but from which they now seek to retire. (Courier Mail, Australia)
Never one to disappoint in her treatment of strong females...Maxwell reveals for us a very complex, passionate, and remarkable woman in Grace O'Malley, the legendary 16th-century pirate...fans of Maxwell's earlier novels will be enthralled with Grace...a most satisfying novel (Library Journal)
London 1593: The great Queen Elizabeth I is growing tired, worn out by England's bitter struggle for dominance over the Wild Irish. A ship sails into London bearing the colours of the legendary Irish pirate queen Grace O'Malley, who has come to plead for the life of her son. Although they are on opposite sides of a bitter and bloody conflict, these two powerful women, meeting near the end of their long and extraordinary lives, recognise in each other an equal in intelligence, courage and leadership. Both have had the unique opportunity to take control of their own destinies in a man's world and both have placed their love for their countries before their own happiness. Through their eyes, the dramatic and turbulent events of the late sixteenth century are brought to life.
