I know she wrote a few novels that have been adapted to the screen but I was disappointed to learn this wasn't one of them :( I’m looking forward to reading this one eventually.

Did you know Fox is the biological grandmother of Courtney Love? Bizarre, but true. I read this years ago, and remember being blown away by the loveliness of Fox’s prose.

Your review brought it back a little bit clearer. I remember the scene you were speaking about where people are being thrown overboard. I remember it dragging as well for a bit. It is worth the read though. For some reason your review also brought the movie <i>Amistad</i> to my mind. That was a powerful movie. The slave trade was just so brutal. I remember watching that movie when I was 19 or 20 and crying while watching it. I'm not usually a crier during movies, that is, unless I am pregnant and then I cry at toothpaste ads.
