A really interesting account of the infamous female pirate Mary Read, through all parts of her life, mundane and mythical. The form of the writing painting the story almost as a fight against destiny where Mary merely searches for her name and place in life, ideally on the sea, moving from major life change to major life change as if it is nothing remarkable until we are finally met with Anne Bonny, Nassau and the Pirates' life - which even this, life sets to take from her.
