A ravishing picaresque told with fireworks, finesse and gusto -- PAUL LYNCH, author of Prophet Song A wholly original vision of a life, Saltblood is not only a gripping tale of one woman's extraordinary adventures, but also a profound meditation on identity, sexuality, survival and what makes us human. The sensory detail of the period is vivid, immersive and sometimes shocking in its intensity. You are on board the ship with Mary, bearing witness to her life, listening to her inimitable voice. Saltblood is a triumph of the imagination -- ELODIE HARPER, author of 'The Wolf Den' trilogy A wonderful tale and so exquisitely told ... Master and Commander meets Thelma and Louise -- JAMES OSWALD, author of the 'Inspector Mclean' series
