Leigh Ann’s Recs No. 9 – The Wild Irish

Book cover for The Wild Irish by Robin Maxwell, Author of The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn. The quote at the bottom in the tan border reads, "Compelling, exhilarating, and thought-provoking." according to the Boston Irish Reporter. At the top half of the cover are two portraits mashed together. Grace O'Malley, a middle-aged white woman wearing a fur coat and a gold chain, is left and foregrounded. Elizabeth is slightly behind and to the right, egregiously decorated with pearls and gold, and wearing a white ruffle around her throat. She is sideglancing towards the left, while Grace seems to be looking towards the viewer. In a red Irish-knot border between the portraits and title is the text A Novel of Elizabeth I and the Pirate O'Malley. Source: amazon.com/Wild-Irish-Elizabeth-Pirate-OMalley/dp/0060091436

When it comes to reading (or writing!) historical fictions, historical accuracy is a must!
