Monsieur Baret

This is the story of an ordinary Frenchwoman of extraordinary courage and determination, who braved everything in order to stay at the side of her lover - even the perils of life aboard an 18th century French navy ship. John Dunmore, a world authority on French naval history, relates with humour and compassion the life of a small-town girl who became the first woman of any race to circumnavigate the globe.
