Book Review: Nuala O’Connor’s Seaborne is a glorious imagining of the life of pirate Anne Bonny

There’s still something very attractive about the idea of being a pirate. Not the tawdry reality of course, and certainly not the current incarnation, but the myth of old that the books and the movies sell us.
