  <default_description> England, 1783. When the rich and beautiful Sovay isn't sitting for portraits, she's donning a man's cloak and robbing travelers in broad daylight. But in a time when political allegiances between France and England are strained, a rogue bandit is not the only thing travelers fear. Spies abound, and rumors of sedition can quickly lead to disappearances. So when Sovay lifts the wallet of one of England's most powerful and dangerous men, it's not just her own identity she must hide, but that of her father. A dazzling historical saga in which the roles of thieves and gentry, good and bad, and men and women are interchanged to riveting effect.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[<em>Sovay</em> had the potential to be a great novel, but turned out to be an overly ambitious project that sadly misses it's mark.  This book is full of wonderful plot devices, too full in fact; therein lies the problem.  The story contains elements of Ann Radcliff's gothic suspense, Frances Burney's manner...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28799491">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this one a lot. It is about a female--young teen girl--highwayman. She didn't begin her life of crime out of need, or even for thrills. No, she began--her first armed robbery--solely for revenge. 1790s. England. Sovay is a young woman engaged to be married.

    <body><![CDATA[This is a fantastic book - and I've gone on to order Witch Child and Pirates! from Barnes &amp; Nobles (no, we don't have a locally owned bookstore).  I love the heroine, Sovay, and how she pushes herself out of her comfort zone to save her father and brother and her country, ultimately.  And how she br...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/70697948">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This books is based on a English folk song in which a young woman dresses as a highwayman and robs her fiancée to test if he will risk his life to keep the ring she has given him.  There are a lot of good plot ideas in this book (enough to keep you wanting to read), but they never really pan out.  ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46578914">more...</a>]]></body>

To prove that her fiance has been untrue, Sovay dresses as a man and holds up his coach and steals proof.  She also steals warrants for her father's arrest - apparently he is accused of treason against the king!  Sovay se...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49958493">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was fairly entertaining, but the narration drove me crazy!  The author could not decide upon a point of view to write with, so for the most part she used 3rd person, but then would randomly skip to 1st person for different characters.  While this could be an interesting way to write a book...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55931456">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[What was the point of this book? The entire first part of the book is about conspiracies, and then it seemed that the last part just focused on Sovay herself. Plus Sovay had A TON of love interests. At first I thought, &quot;Ooh.
