I recently watched and enjoyed the Apple TV adaptation of The Buccaneers, and when I was a kid I watched the BBC adaptation with my Mom and I remember liking that too. So naturally I wanted to read the original.
While the plot progressed slowly, there were some really beautiful parts that made it worth continuing. I really liked the first half of the book, but it kind of went downhill afterAnnabel married the Duke.
I've seen so many complaints about where Mainwaring took over, and I kept trying to guess where that point was, thinking there'd be some obvious, horrendous change. But there wasn't.
