The illustrations of most Timmi Tobbson characters were inspired by actorsand/or their fictional characters from well-known movies. This story was breathtaking. I was riveted and couldn't put it down until I was done. Yes there were parts like in any other book that you think wow can we move on, but it's nothing more than a paragraph that I felt like this and not very often. It is juvenile fiction but the story should captivate anyone and doesn't read as simple as most juvenile fiction. In an age when few people travelled and young men might have to work seven-year apprenticeships before they could make an independent living, many were tempted to go to sea anyway, though the life was a tough one.

Celia Rees expertly combines a story of two women who are struggling to find different kinds of freedom - Minerva freedom to be herself without suffering cruelty and racism, and Nancy a freedom to be herself away from the bindings of society. The friendship and sisterly bond between Nancy and Minerva is everything, and it is the main focal point of the story for me and romantic relationships are completely overshadowed by Nancy's love for Minerva which is fantastic.

If the historical inconsistencies left me disappointed, the strangely anti-climactic resolutions to all the dramatic moments just left me scratching my head.
