I requested this book before knowing the author's personal stance which is important even though irrelevant to her book. I can't separate the art from the artist so I think I'll never read this book. Apologize to the publisher, I'm still looking forward to read another book from Magpie Book.

This is a novel set in the Golden Age of Piracy and tells the story of Hannah Masury, who has to run away and disguise herself as a cabin boy.
Meanwhile Marian finds Hannah's account in relatively modern times, 1930.
The two women are connected and not just through Marian finding the account but by their circumstances, since women are still not free in the thirties, it is still very much a man's world.
This a delicious page turner of a novel and very well written. I loved it, and would recommend it highly.
