White Rose Rebel: A Novel of the Female "Braveheart" - Tapa blanda

Meet the female "Braveheart" in this vibrantly imagined, rousingly atmospheric and impeccably researched novel of Jacobite Scotland

White Rose Rebel tells the riveting story of the historical figure known as Colonel Anne-Scottish heroine and female "Braveheart." Anne Farquharson is elated when the Jacobites rebel in 1745, fighting to regain the Stuart throne of Scotland for Bonnie Prince Charlie, and horrified when her husband, Aeneas Macintosh, joins the English army. She raises his clan and, with her previous lover at her side, joins the uprising to become its legendary Colonel Anne. Inspired by the true story, White Rose Rebel marks the exciting debut of a wonderfully fresh and vivid voice in historical fiction, as it explores the grand themes of women's rights and national identity, love and marital discord, loyalty and betrayal.
