Fair Play

Sequel is “How He Won Her.” If you suffer under the misconception that 19th century fiction is boring, this novel and its second volume, How He Won Her: A Sequel to Fair Play, should change your mind. The story follows heroine Britomarte as she strives to prove her ingenuity, independence, and intelligence (not to mention sword fighting skills) during the American Civil War. If you’ve ever wanted to read about a 19th century lady stealing a sword from a Confederate pirate and using it to take him down on the rolling deck of a ship, written by a lady no less, this is not a book to be missed.
