A True Account

Dual timelines, pirates and the possibility of treasure all come together beautifully in ‘A True Account: Hannah Masury's Sojourn Amongst the Pyrates, Written by Herself'.

After seeing pirates hanged, Hannah surprisingly ends up a hand on a pirate ship. Learning the ropes, weathering storms, and trying to keep her female identity secret keep Hannah on her toes.

Professor Marian Beresford leads a somewhat sedate life. When she is presented with evidence of a journal by a previously unknown female pirate she can't help but want to look for her own treasure.

This was a fun book, a great way to start off my 2024 reads.
