The Pirate's Wife: The Remarkable Story of Mrs. Captain Kidd by Daphne Palmer Geanacopoulos

2.75

adventurous informative medium-paced

The facts were interesting. I could have done with fewer speculative statements about how Sarah may have felt. Desperately needed an editor for flow and phrasing. Some smaller examples: author writes of one figure being given a great job as a "plumb job" when it should be "plum job". William Kidd is described as "anguishing" in Newgate rather than "languishing." Also, was it really necessary to include the entirety of Captain Kidd's own narrative of his allegedly piratical voyage?
