Caribbean, 1720. Two extraordinary women are on the run - from
their pasts, from the British Navy and the threat of execution, and
from the destiny that fate has written for them. Plantation owner's
daughter, runaway wife, pirate - Anne Bonny has forged her own
story in a man's world. But when she is involved in the capture of
a British merchant ship, she is amazed to find another woman
amongst the crew, with a history as unconventional as her own.
Dressed as a boy from childhood, Mary Read has been a soldier, a
sailor, a widow - but never a woman in charge of her own destiny.
As their exhilarating, tumultuous exploits find fame, the ballad of
Bonny and Read is sung from shore to shore - but when you swim
against the tide of history, freedom is a dangerous thing... An
exuberant reimagining of the extraordinary story of Bonny &
Read - trailblazing, boundary-defying, swashbuckling heroines whose
story deserves to be known. Perfect for fans of Ariadne, The
Mercies and The Familiars.
