A feminist adventure story of smuggling and myth-making, by award-winning author Kim Sherwood' Remarkable' HILARY MANTEL' A thrilling adventure novel' FIONA MOZLEY' Tremendous' EMMA STONEXA Wild & True Relation opens during the Great Storm of 1703, as smuggler Tom West confronts his lover Grace for betraying him to the Revenue. Leaving Grace' s cottage in flames, he takes her orphaned daughter Molly on board ship disguised as a boy to join his crew. But Molly, or Orlando as she must call herself, will grow up to outshine all the men of Tom' s company and seek revenge - and a legacy - all of her own. Woven into Molly' s story are the writers - from Celia Fiennes and George Eliot to Daniel Defoe and Charles Dickens - who are transfixed by her myth and who, over three centuries, come together to solve the mystery of her life. With extraordinary verve , Sherwood remakes the eighteenth-century novel and challenges women' s writing and women' s roles throughout history. ' A young writer of immense talent' ANDREW MILLER' A breathtaking feat of historical fiction and utterly astounding. It is wise, urgent and entirely compelling. I was bereft when it ended' WYL MENMUIR' This book is a rarity - a novel as remarkable for the vigour of the storytelling as for its literary ambition. Kim Sherwood is a writer of capacity, potency and sophistication' HILARY MANTEL' Vividly imagined, relentlessly entertaining, rich and resonant in scope and context, it' s both a thrilling adventure and a vital witness to women' s voices' EMMA STONEX, author of The Lamplighters
