Two Hundred Men, One Woman

Description for TWO HUNDRED MEN, ONE WOMAN by Nancy Price:

Sophia Wentworth has lost all hope of marriage---she is hungry and poor. England is fighting alone against Napoleon on land and sea.

But soon three men will want to marry Sophia. One takes her to war with him: she is a lone woman with two hundred men on a fighting ship.

The second man loves her so much that he will give her all he owns.

The third man loves her too much to tell her---ever--the secret of her past.

The reader enters Britain in 1798 to live a dangerous life on land, or face the terrors of a wooden ship alone on the sea. Sophia's story, told int he familiar language of today, opens a door to a world we can hardly imagine.
