Reviews 'Magical tale' Woman & Home 'Magical, disturbing and yet utterly compelling' thelondonpaper 'Dream-like' The Times ‘Cezair-Thompson has spun a book-club-ready saga with two gorgeous women at its center…[the book has] a knockout ending that reveals treasure buried beneath sand-encrusted secrets’ People Magazine, Critic’s Choice ‘[The Pirate's Daughter] makes for an unabashedly frangipani-scented - and wholly satisfying - armchair holiday of a read’ Vogue ‘[Cezair-Thompson] explores questions about identity and racism without being heavy-handed about it. She's best at juxtaposing Flynn's imported glamour with the realities of Jamaica and at suggesting there's more than one kind of buried treasure… THE PIRATE'S DAUGHTER offers plenty of serious passion and escape’ USA Today ‘The novel never stops for breath once…[it] just buzzes along, with years flying by between chapters, and dozens of characters entering and exiting, saying interesting things and doing outrageous ones. These characters range from aristocratic Europeans to desperately poor Jamaicans, and they are constantly pairing off in the most surprising ways’ O Magazine ‘Cezair-Thompson…brings a smart, lilting voice and a sharp, quirky perspective to a tried-and-true literary formula, the sweeping historical epic. By taking the classic question familiar to all storytellers - "What if?" - and marrying it to the classic advice of fiction-writing teachers - "Write what you know" - Cezair-Thompson unravels a surprising yarn that is rich, salty and ultimately satisfying…[Her] deft evocation of the beauty and unpredictability of Jamaica, its topography and its people, raises THE PIRATE'S DAUGHTER to a level far above the bodice-ripping historic epic’ The Washington Post ‘Cezair-Thompson promises her readers a 'tropical adventure.' She evokes spectacular shipwrecks and deserted islands, infamous buccaneers and glamorous celebrities. And the story that follows makes good on these promises’ The New York Times Book Review 'A mélange of family saga, love story and political historical fiction served up in a tropical setting…covers a vast swathe of narrative territory with page-turning panache’ Boston Globe 'This is an entertaining, spell-binding tale, which would make a perfect holiday read' Michelle Moore Win an exclusive holiday at The Tryall Club, Jamaica Find out more about the book http://www.myspace.com/thepiratesdaughter
