A True Account: A Radio 2 Book Club Pick for Autumn 2023!

English

By (author): Katherine Howe

 

From a New York Times-bestselling author comes this daring account of one woman's adventure among the most feared sea rovers of all time, perfect for fans of Kate Mosse and Jess Kidd

'An absolute page turner, full of unexpected twists and turns.' Celia Rees, author of Pirates!

 She was one of the most terrifying seafarers of all time. This is her story.

The Golden Age of Piracy is drawing to a close when Hannah Masury watches the public hanging of the infamous William Fly in a Boston town square. Rumours about the location of Fly's buried treasure are rampant, and when Hannah finds a clue as to where it might be hidden, she decides it's time to take the future into her own hands. 

Two centuries later in a dusty university archive, Professor Marian Beresford is captivated by Hannah's story and the many unanswered questions she left behind. Hannah was determined to take her secrets with her to the grave, but in Marian, she might finally have met her match. 

A True Account is the page-turning story of two women from two very different worlds, both shattering the rules of their own society, both willing to risk everything to forge their own adventure. 

'A feast for the sea-loving senses.' Sarah Penner, author of The Lost Apothecary
