The year is 1742. Goody Brown, saved from drowning and adopted when
just a babe, has grown up happily in the smuggling town of
Winchelsea. Then, when Goody turns sixteen, her father is murdered
in the night by men he thought were friends. To find justice in a
lawless land, Goody must enter the cut-throat world of her father's
killers. With her beloved brother Francis, she joins a rival gang
of smugglers. Facing high seas and desperate villains, she also
discovers something else: an existence without constraints or
expectations, a taste for danger that makes her blood run fast.
Goody was never born to be a gentlewoman. But what will she become
instead? Winchelsea is an electrifying story of vengeance and
transformation; a rare, lyrical and transporting work of historical
imagination that makes the past so real we can touch it.
