The year is 1819, and the renowned chef Owen Wedgwood has been
kidnapped by a beautiful yet ruthless pirate. He will be spared,
Mad Hannah Mabbot tells him, as long as he can conjure an exquisite
meal every Sunday from the ship's meager supplies. While Wedgwood
attempts to satisfy his captor with feats such as tea-smoked eel
and pineapple-banana cider, he realizes that Mabbot herself is
under siege. Hunted by a deadly privateer and plagued by a
saboteur, she pushes her crew past exhaustion in her search for the
notorious Brass Fox. But there is a method to Mabbot's madness, and
as the "Flying Rose" races across the ocean, Wedgwood learns to
rely on the bizarre crew members he once feared: a formidable giant
who loves to knit; a pair of stoic martial arts masters, sworn to
defend their captain; and the ship's deaf cabin boy, who becomes
the son he never had.
An anarchic tale of love and appetite, Eli Brown's "Cinnamon and
Gunpowder" is a wildly original feat of the imagination, deep and
startling as the sea itself.
