Summary

Rebels. Outlaws. Icons.

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.
