This month's TTNBC selection is "Pirates!" by Celia Rees. It's a story of scandal, love, & most importantly, friendship.
Celia Rees is a British author. There doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about her as an author. She was just a young girl with an active imagination and a love for literature. Ms. Rees was an English teacher until she started writing full time in 1997. She has written many other books, none of which I've read, but would like to. (You can read her full biography here.)
I love the descriptive dialogue in Pirates. I was introduced the the book when my sister was listening to it on a trip down here to visit. I only heard a few minutes but wanted to keep listening so I checked it out for myself... twice.
I hope you all enjoy the story as much as I did. I'll post some questions for feedback as we go so keep checking back!!!
