The Pirate's Daughter by Margaret Cezair-Thompson

Errol Flynn, his mistress, his illegitimate daughter and Jamaica.

It's gotten a lot of great reviews, but I didn't care much for it. It seems to be the synopsis for a novel, the outline, the summary. A good first draft. There is much missing that is needed to make it enjoyable to read. The prose stumbles, the omniscient viewpoint confuses. And it is overly long at almost 400 pages.
