Trade Wind
Mary Margaret Kaye, [M. M. Kaye]
The scene is teeming
Zanzibar just before the American Civil War, when the Isle of Cloves was
a center of African slave trade. To it comes Hero Athena Hollis, a
Boston bluestocking filled with self-righteousness and bent on good

Zanzibar just before the American Civil War, when the Isle of Cloves was
a center of African slave trade. To it comes Hero Athena Hollis, a
Boston bluestocking filled with self-righteousness and bent on good
deeds.
Then she meets Rory Frost, a cynical, wicked, shrewd and
good-humored trader in slaves. What is Hero to make of him (and of her
feelings for him)?
"Tightly plotted, crammed with detail and irresistibly romantic." (Cosmopolitan)
