Ships of Desire is a novel written by Kate Horn and published in 1909. The book tells the story of a young woman named Maud who is forced to leave her home in England and move to South Africa with her father. Along the way, they encounter a group of sailors who are on a mission to find a lost treasure. Maud becomes fascinated with the sailors and their way of life, and she soon finds herself caught up in a world of adventure and romance. As she navigates the dangerous waters of the South African coast, Maud must also confront her own desires and the limitations placed on her as a woman in a patriarchal society. The novel explores themes of gender roles, colonialism, and the search for identity in a rapidly changing world. With vivid descriptions of life at sea and the exotic landscapes of South Africa, Ships of Desire is a thrilling and thought-provoking read for fans of historical fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
