" A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes is like those books you used to read under the covers with a flashlight, only infinitely more delicious and macabre." --Andrew Sean Greer, All Things Considered Set against the backdrop of the Caribbean in the late nineteenth century, A High Wind in Jamaica is a thrilling, suspense-filled adventure. After a storm destroys the plantation that the Bas-Thornton children live on in Jamaica, their parents decide that they must return to England. While traveling home on a ship, the children are kidnapped by pirates. This gripping tale weaves together innocence with betrayal, murder, and violence and examines the thin line between childhood and the primal instincts of survival.
Published to critical acclaim in 1929, Richard Hughes's brilliant literary work is listed in the top 100 novels of the twentieth century and has been adapted to the stage, radio, and film. His masterful storytelling and vivid characters make for an unforgettable read that captures the imagination and fascinates readers of all ages from start to finish.
