From the author of the bestselling and award-winning WITCH CHILD,
comes another outstanding historical novel. When two young women
meet under extraordinary circumstances in the eighteenth-century
West Indies, they are unified in their desire to escape their
oppressive lives. The first is a slave, forced to work in a
plantation mansion and subjected to terrible cruelty at the hands
of the plantation manager. The second is a spirited and rebellious
English girl, sent to the West Indies to marry well. But fate
ensures that one night the two young women have to save each other
and run away to a life no less dangerous but certainly a lot more
free. As pirates, they roam the seas, fight pitched battles against
their foes and become embroiled in many a heart-quickening
adventure. Written in brilliant and sparkling first-person
narrative, this is a wonderful novel in which Celia Rees has
brought the past vividly and intimately to life.
