The Pirate’s Daughter - ok, so maybe I’ll become an “avid” reader yet!
The story was based in Jamaica, and you’ve got to love the use of the word broughtupsy in a novel! I can’t be certain that I did not enjoy it more because of the many West Indian references, but I did find that it was an escape from my life and I looked forward to reading it on my train rides. The descriptions of the island and people were really vivid and her analogies were really interesting!
Anyone read it? What did you think?
Since the whole reading thing is going so well, I got Dear John today, which is sort of timely, as it is somewhat based around 9/11 – I am not sure really, since I only read 1 chapter so far – I’ll let you know how it goes.
