In Richard Hughes's acclaimed debut novel, A High Wind in Jamaica, set in the late nineteenth century, seven siblings from a Jamaican plantation face unexpected peril when their ship is captured by pirates. After a hurricane destroys their family home, the Bas-Thornton children embark on a journey to England, only to find themselves abandoned by the fleeing captain. This gripping tale intertwines themes of survival and premature coming-of-age in a world where fear and adventure coexist.
