When legendary swashbuckler Errol Flynn washes ashore in his yacht in Jamaica, teenaged Ida Joseph makes it her business to meet him. For Flynn, Jamaica is a revelation: a tropical paradise that promises adventure and a fresh start; when he and Ida do meet, he is intrigued by her poise and singles her out for attention. Soon Flynn has made a home for himself on Navy Island where he entertains the cream of Hollywood, and Ida has set her heart on this charismatic older man.

Ida's child, May, will meet her famous father only once. The Pirate's Daughter is a tale of passion and recklessness, of a mother's battle to protect her child, and of a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of hard-won independence.

Jamaica, 1946. Errol Flynn washes up on in the Zaca, his storm-wrecked yacht. Ida Joseph, the teenaged daughter of Port Antonio's Justice of the Peace, is intrigued to learn that the 'World's Handsomest Man' is on the island, and makes it her business to meet him. For the jaded swashbuckler, Jamaica is a tropical paradise that Ida, unfazed by his celebrity, seems to share. Soon Flynn has made a home for himself on Navy Island, where he entertains the cream of Hollywood at parties that become a byword for decadence - and Ida has set her heart on marrying this charismatic older man who has singled her out for his attention. Flynn and Ida do not marry, but Ida bears Flynn a daughter, May, who will meet her father but once. The Pirate's Daughter is a tale of passion and recklessness, of two generations of women and their battles for love and survival, and of a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of hard-won independence.

Released in the wild!
