Zvjezdana mora

Sara Sheridan

The novel Starry Sea is a historical adventure story that follows a real person, writer and illustrator Maria Graham, during her perilous journey from Brazil to London in 1824.

After the death of her husband, Maria decides to live as a free woman and scientist, free from the shackles of British society. In order to submit her two new novels to a publisher, she boards the only available ship, commanded by the charming cocoa smuggler Captain James Henderson.

During the voyage, Maria discovers two shocking secrets: an irresistible attraction to the enigmatic captain and a dangerous secret that could put her in mortal danger. The novel explores themes of love, freedom, and courage, set against the exotic backdrop of Brazilian independence and political turmoil. Sara Sheridan skillfully blends historical fact with fiction, creating a powerful and inspiring story of a woman fighting for her independence in a world dominated by men.

Starry Night is ideal for readers who enjoy historical novels with strong female characters, exotic locations, and a touch of romance.
