The Pirate's Daughter - Softcover
An unforgettable story of love and adventure, spanning three decades of Jamaican history.
Jamaica, 1946. Errol Flynn washes up on in the Zaca, his storm-wrecked yacht. Ida Joseph, the teenaged daughter of Port Antonio's Justice of the Peace, is intrigued to learn that the 'World's Handsomest Man' is on the island, and makes it her business to meet him. For the jaded swashbuckler, Jamaica is a tropical paradise that Ida, unfazed by his celebrity, seems to share. Soon Flynn has made a home for himself on Navy Island, where he entertains the cream of Hollywood at parties that become a byword for decadence - and Ida has set her heart on marrying this charismatic older man who has singled her out for his attention. Flynn and Ida do not marry, but Ida bears Flynn a daughter, May, who will meet her father but once. The Pirate's Daughter is a tale of passion and recklessness, of two generations of women and their battles for love and survivial, and of a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of hard-won independence.

Review:
'A surprising yarn that is rich, salty and ultimately satisfying... sparkles with characters real and imagined' (Washington Post)
'Imagine that you are a beautiful 13-year-old Jamaican girl. Imagine that Errol Flynn washes up near your town in his schooner after a hurricane... This is the delicious premise that sets The Pirate's Daughter in motion, and from there, the novel never stops for breath' (O magazine)

The ultimate 'thinking-person's beach read', a novel based on a fascinating kernel of fact that is as thought provoking as it is utterly unputdownable.
