Περιγραφή

Frenchman's Creek is ideal for a teenage audience: the novel's heroine is a headstrong young woman of the Restoration court, who escapes convention for a life of adventure with her lover, a daring French pirate.

A tale of love and adventure from the internationally bestselling author of Rebecca.
'She wrote exciting plots . . . a writer of fearless originality' GUARDIAN

'One of the last century's most original literary talents' DAILY TELEGRAPH

'A pure, exhilarating adventure story - a swashbuckling tale of exquisite danger and tangled love' JULIE MYERSON

The Restoration Court knows Lady Dona St Columb to be ripe for any folly, any outrage that will alter the tedium of her days. But there is another, secret Dona who longs for freedom, honest love and sweetness, even if it is spiced with danger.

To escape the shallowness of court life, Dona retreats to Navron, her husband's remote Cornish estate. There, she seeks peace in its solitary woods and hidden creeks. But she finds instead a daring pirate, hunted by all of Cornwall, a Frenchman who, like Dona, would gamble his life for a moment's joy.

Together, they embark upon a quest rife with danger and glory, one which bestows upon Dona the ultimate choice: sacrifice her lover to certain death or risk her own life to save him.
