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

3.0

For those wondering about my “speed-reading,” the last 60 pages are bibliography. As for the book itself, I kind of enjoyed learning about Captain Kidd’s wife Sarah but found the speculative nature of the account annoying. “She might have seen this.” “She may have felt this way.” “She must have done this.” It just felt like barely enough information to write “The Pirate’s Wife.” Ultimately, I’d rather have read a well-researched historical fiction book about her and Kidd’s (doomed) romance instead.
