The pirate`s daughter [ang.]
Tytuł oryginału: "The pirate`s daughter, ".
Jamaica, 1946, Errol Flynn washes up on the island in the Zaca, his storm-wrecked yacht. Ida Joseph, the teenaged daughter of a Port Antonio Justice of the Peace, it 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 offers the tang of adventure and the promise of personal salvation: a freshness that Ida, unfazed as she is by his celebrity, seems to share. Soon
Flynn has made a home for himself on Navy Island where he entertains the cream of Holly wood - and Ida has set her heart on this charismatic older man.
Ida`s child, May, Will meet her famous father only once. Spanning thirty years of Jamaican history, The Pirate`s Daughter is a tale of passion and recklessness, of two generations of women and their battles for love and survival, and of a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of hard-won independence. Margaret Cezair-Thompson has fashioned a novel at once provocative, refreshingly original and as spellbinding as even the richest haul of pirate treasure.
