Errol Flynn washes up on Jamaica in his storm-wrecked yacht. Ida Joseph has set her heart on marrying Flynn. Flynn and Ida do not marry, but Ida bears Flynn a daughter, May, who will meet her father but once. This 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. The book has been selected as one of Richard and Judy's Summer Reads 2008.
