    Frenchman's Creek, by Daphne du Maurier

    Make no mistake, this is a book written by a chick, for chicks. Nevertheless, it has a handsome pirate, some lovely scenery, and a touch of swashbuckling.

    Heartily recommended.

    I'm not sure what constitutes a creek. I'm an old hand at French estuaries, I know that much.

    I expect Johnny Depp is in it.
