Escapism at it's best

I've recently rediscovered E. V. Thompson and am enjoying reading his books again. This one is a rollicking historical fiction book featuring heroine Thomasina Varcoe, an unconventional Cornish girl. Her adventures take her in the company of a highwayman, on a sailing ship masquerading as a boy, shipwreck, and into some interesting relationships. An evil villain in the shape of Sir Charles Hearle complicates her life and she has some more than interesting adventures along the way. This book will offer enough adventure and history plus a dollop of romance as well.
