Aprašymas

From New York Times bestselling author, Katherine Howe, comes a daring first-hand account of Hannah Masury's rousing adventure as one of the sea's most feared and admired travelers.

It's the end of the Age of Sail in New England, and Hannah Masury, bound to service at a waterfront tavern since childhood, is ready to change the tide. After getting tangled up her unwavering intrigue surrounding a recent hanging in the town square, Hannah must flee Boston to save her life. When she disguises herself as a cabin boy and ships out on what she believes is a fruit packet headed for the Azores, by chance, she gets mixed up with a rag-tag group of pirates.

Told by Hannah, herself, A True Account, looks over the shoulder of Marian Beresford, a Radcliffe professor in 1930 who has been feeling as locked in her own life as Hannah was locked into hers. Marian must determine if Hannah's story is true, because if it is, it might lead her to pirate treasure, while also leading her into a greater understanding of herself.
