by Celia Rees - my review
Description from the amazon:
Nancy Kington, daughter of a rich merchant, suddenly orphaned when her father dies, is sent to live on her family's plantation in Jamaica. Disgusted by the treatment of the slaves and her brother's willingness to marry her off, she and one of the slaves, Minerva, run away and join a band of pirates. For both girls the pirate life is their only chance for freedom in a society where both are treated like property, rather than individuals. Together they go in search of adventure, love, and a new life that breaks all restrictions of gender, race, and position. Told through Nancy's writings, their adventures will appeal to readers across the spectrum and around the world.

My favorite pirate song is "Santiano" by the Pyrates Royale. I've actually been singing it over and over so much lately that I keep getting a sore throat XD

Has to be "The Pirate Song" – sung by George Harrison on Eric Idle's Rutland Weekend Television show
ReplyDeleteI did not realize that their was actually a genre for pirate music. Though once listening, I can so see some on theses songs used in a dance recital routine. My fav- "Hoist the Colors"
