Would You Trust A Woman Pirate?

-


 

 Rita Chang-Eppig's "Deep As The Sky , Red As The Sea"  is as exciting as reading Pericles by William Shakespeare. The heroine, pirate is Shek Yeung. Not only can she behead an enemy, she can strategize the next move in a sea battle. It is a thrill  pretending to stand in her sea shoes. The bloody  truth is that Shek Young must maintain the  control of the ship, at least half of it.

 Notwithstanding The piracy of  ships must not stop. Therefore, while missionaries evangelize about eternal kingdoms, there is one electrifying truth. Women pirates do not cater to permanence. It is about overthrow and conquer.

 Charlie is leaving Lancashire for New York. It is her first time visiting there. She is so excited. In her shoes, I would feel the same way. The trip on the plane goes well. Everything is great until she figures it out. Harry Taylor is not there to meet her.  It is such a horrible feeling to experience what is happening to her. She spends hours at the airport and find she does not have enough information with her. The story goes on. Although I have never had this experience, I almost feel her pain. It is a wonderful book. We definitely learn about Charlie.When all we want to know is where is Harry. Walking this woman back and forth as she tries to think what to tell her parents, etc. leaves the heart pumping faster and faster. You really feel like crying for her. This is not the way I pictured her New York Christmas. By the way, Lancashire is near London.
