Book Spotlight – “Sovay” by Celia Reese
“Sovay, Sovay all on a day
She dressed herself in man’s array
With a brace of pistols all by her side
To meet her true love, to meet her true love, away she’d ride.
This is the first verse of a traditional ballad that served as Celia Rees’s inspiration for her new novel. Set at the close of the 18th century, when revolutionary activities in America and France incited a similar fervor in England, SOVAY introduces another of Rees’s captivating, independent, postmodern heroines, interacting with the events of history with a mind of her own.”
