The Queen of Whale Cay: The Eccentric Story of 'Joe' Carstairs, Fastest Woman on Water by Kate Summerscale

5.0

I thoroughly enjoyed this biography, which tells the story of an extraordinary, unconventional, hugely wealthy life.

The pictures at the end are gorgeous, and the biographer tells the story of the bold "Joe" Carstairs without interjecting personal opinion or judgement, which is also why this biog works.
