Lead Review

• Book: Crossed Bones
• Location: Morocco, Penzance
• Author: Jane Johnson

This book evokes the prudishness of 17th century Puritan England, the terror of a pirate attack, and the richness and squalor of North Africa – it works well both in the modern day and the past. And go to JaneJohnsonbooks.com – there she tells the story of how in real life she found her own barbary pirate – Julia Segers –
