β¦ Synopsis
Costretta sin da giovanissima a fingersi maschio per una truffa, Mary cresce incapace di tollerare i limiti imposti al suo sesso dal Settecento.
Coraggiosa e testarda, sceglie di inseguire i propri sogni e - nei panni di Mark - attraversa l'Europa diventando marinaio, fuorilegge e soldato.
Ma neppure una ragazza che si traveste da uomo puΓ² restare immune all'amore...
Un romanzo di avventura che possiede il respiro del mare e la durezza della guerra; un racconto di scelte audaci, di amicizia fraterna e di passioni inarrestabili.
Venite a conoscere la storia vera di una donna capace di sfidare il destino pur di essere se stessa.
"In questo romanzo vediamo nascere la leggenda che, ancora oggi, ispira centinaia di storie, perchΓ© dietro a ogni donna pirata rappresentata al cinema e nei romanzi si nasconde lβimmortale Mary." (Stefania Bernardo, autrice)
