About the Book:
The Ghost Ship is the third novel in The Joubert Family Chronicles by bestselling author Kate Mosse.
Set in 1621, the story follows a mysterious vessel known only as The Ghost Ship, which sails the Barbary Coast hunting pirates and freeing those enslaved by corsairs. Crewed by courageous mariners from across Europe, the novel weaves together adventure, love, revenge, hidden fortunes, and long-buried secrets.
Spanning France, Amsterdam, and the Canary Islands, The Ghost Ship is an epic historical novel filled with unforgettable characters and thrilling seafaring adventure.
Audiobook version available.
Whether you've finished the book, just started, or simply want to enjoy good conversation and learn something new, we'd love to have you join us. Come connect, share perspectives, and enjoy a relaxed afternoon with your fellow TWSA members.
