ОглавлениеPraise for Come Looking for Me
“Come Looking for Me is a rollicking adventure, a compelling story filled with great research and blessed with plot that has wind in its sails. Emily is a heroine for all ages.”
Roy MacGregor, author of Canadians: A Portrait of a Country and Its People
“Come Looking for Me is a fine offering – an unexpected romance set amid the fierce naval battles of the United States and Great Britain during the War of 1812. Cheryl Cooper succeeds in creating an intriguing cast of characters and making us care about their ultimate fate. Her extensive research and detailed descriptions of life on the sea add an unyielding realism to a story rich in action and suspense.”
Anne Millyard, co-founder and former editor of Annick Press
“A high sea of a good read, roiling with history, cannon blasts, and storms of the heart … I couldn’t put it down.”
Karen Hood-Caddy, author of Tree Fever, Flying Lessons, and Wisdom of Water
“Cheryl Cooper has crafted a novel of epic proportions, incorporating a cast of truly memorable characters. Her meticulous research captures the conditions at sea on a British man-of-war in the early part of the 19th century, and her account of the challenges facing a naval surgeon is particularly engrossing. Written in a flowing, graceful style, Come Looking for Me is a satisfying book that is difficult to put down. A wonderful read!”
Dr. Walter Hannah, physician, former midshipman with the Royal Canadian Navy
