Very unusual for any era. History in quite descriptive detail. Not for the faint hearted.
Two female pirates Mary Read and Anne Bonny, both their lives determined by circumstances way beyond their control. How they lived (very precarious), always in danger of being discovered, their dangerous liaisons which endangered their lives personally and how it all ended.
Starting and going back to their incarceration, the cleverness of Annie who was determined to stay the execution, her escape though Mary died in prison, all this highlights a story of two determined women, who survived against tremendous odds in the 1720s.
I had to pace myself in reading this story because of the going back and forth, and the many people involved. Overall a very interesting read.
