The Pirate's Daughter - Margaret Cezair-Thompson

Perhaps it's just me. The cover notes for this book contain all sorts of ecstatic praise for it, for its breadth, its imagination, its skill. But it left me cold. To be honest, I couldn't wait for it to be over, and I was struggling to keep reading. There were too many loose ends, too many passing references that tittilated but didn't satisfy. I found that I wanted the book to be so much more than it was, and I read it to the end, partly in the hope that I would see that wish fulfilled and partly because I am dogged that way. I must confess that I am also persuaded to buy a book because it had been selected as a "Richard and Judy" read. I am rarely disappointed in those books. But I was this time. The Pirate's Daughter was not for me. I found it superficial and lacking. Sorry Ms Cezair-Thompson
