{"product_id":"9781936071296","title":"The Pirate's Daughter","description":"“Back in America, little was known of my life in Jamaica,” wrote Errol Flynn.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1946, a storm-wrecked boat carrying Hollywood’s most famous swashbuckler shored up on the coast of Jamaica, and the glamorous world of 1940’s Hollywood converged with that of a small West Indian society. After a long and storied career on the silver screen, Errol Flynn spent much of the last years of his life on a small island off of Jamaica, throwing parties and sleeping with increasingly younger teenaged girls. Based on those years, The Pirate’s Daughter is the story of Ida, a local girl who has an affair with Flynn that produces a daughter, May, who meets her father but once.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpanning two generations of women whose destinies become inextricably linked with the matinee idol’s, this lively novel tells the provocative history of a vanished era, of uncommon kinships, compelling attachments, betrayal and atonement in a paradisal, tropical setting. As adept with Jamaican vernacular as she is at revealing the internal machinations of a fading and bloated matinee idol, Margaret Cezair-Thompson weaves a saga of a mother and daughter finding their way in a nation struggling to rise to the challenge of independence.","brand":"Unbridled Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47158958129392,"sku":"9781936071296","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781936071296_p0.jpg?v=1763658558","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781936071296","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
