The Pirate Queen: The story of Grace O'Malley, Irish pirate by Alan Gold is a supremely fascinating book. I picked it up after hearing the name, Grace O'Malley, on an episode of NCIS.
I'm not generally a pirate fan, but I thought that perhaps with a female pirate, it would provide the strong female characters that I prefer. The book was extremely interesting and I was riveted to it from the day I picked it up. I happened to be in school at that point, and it was a good thing it was after the semester had ended, because I couldn't hardly put it down.
This book actually goes back and forth between Grace O'Malley and Queen Elizabeth I. It's a fictional tale but based on real life events that caused these two powerful females' paths to cross and intertwine. It's fascinating to read these ladies' stories. If you at all like pirates or 16th century British history, take a look at this one!… (altro)
