"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.
