Seaborne (Unabridged‪)‬

Anne Bonny’s exhilarating journey towards a fleeting pirate career, re-imagined by one of Ireland’s finest writers, is uncompromising, queer, neurodivergent, brave and passionate.


Anne Bonny is a young woman of privilege who is anything but comfortable, hell-bent on a voyage of self-realisation with or without the consent of those around her. Novelty-seeking, contrary, stubborn and bisexual, she is also neurodivergent, brave and capable of deep and enduring love.

She spent all of two months actually being a pirate. Seaborne is the thrilling and sensuous imagining of the loss, frustration and desires that steer this lonely daughter of a plantation owner towards elopement, two marriages, two pregnancies, violence, trial for piracy and legendary status.
