Fellow Aussie and historical fiction author, John Ivor from Booktaste
Following John Ivor’s historical novel, No Kiss For A Killer, his second title in the Dreams Quartet – Run Maggie Run – is an adults-only paperback.
Sentenced to hang, 9-year old factory waif, Maggie flees 1830s Scotland and endures a violent odyssey to womanhood. On the run, her adventures take her to the far end of the world. She outsmarts Arab pirates, endures kidnapping, survives sex predators and is sold as a slave. Thrills, humour and compassion blend to give this novel its original label as ‘best serial since Dickens’.
