About this listen

As the old sailor's adage goes, a woman on board invites bad luck, a superstition that turned out to be true for the enemies of notorious pirates Anne Bonny and Mary Read. As quick to draw their cutlasses as they were to fall in love, Anne and Mary sailed the Caribbean leaving a trail of looted treasure, outfoxed law enforcement, and treacherous ex-lovers (suitably dealt with) in their wake.

Born hundreds of miles apart, both Anne and Mary were disguised as boys in their childhoods to escape poverty, propriety and disgrace, only to find freedom on the high seas. Anne, a poor fit for polite society, kicks her treacherous husband to the curb to turn pirate with the dashing Captain Jack. Meanwhile, Mary endures navy and army life disguised as a boy before being captured by pirates.

When Mary and Anne’s worlds collide a love affair between the two ensues and adventure beckons - the Governor and Anne’s spurned husband continue to hunt them across the oceans, but even the shadow of the gallows couldn’t darken the blazing spirits of these incredible women somehow mostly forgotten by history.

This series explores themes of equality, freedom, love and survival. Ultimately it is a story about the determination to live fully and freely without the limitation of gender, class or society - a life without restraint.

Excellent, production and several storylines running through it

A different story than I would usually choose but enjoyed it. Very clear acting voices and convincing background sounds. I wanted to keep listening, very entertaining and draws on different emotions. Celebrates difference in relationshipsand culture.

Absorbing and eloquent writing. Wonderfully performed in this audiobook

The text in the first couple of volumes can descend into spiralling narration that was a challenge to follow at times but during dialogue between characters it is a delight. Absorbing and eloquent and brilliantly performed as an audiobook.
