What's an intelligent teenager do upon deciding to leave home? Deirdre's answer is to wander the world on her own terms, surviving on wits, wiles, and will power. But it's not as easy as that Deirdre, the Oyster's Pearl - Volume TWO of the Deirdre, the Wanderer series - by Jonnie Comet. Heartsick and once again homeless, Deirdre turns her back on a Bahamian paradise and sails a thousand miles to the mystical Virgin Islands, the destination of her most cherished daydreams. But debilitated by drinking binges she is easily seduced by a sadistic drug smuggler; and shady intrigue, sensual interludes, and the perils of storm season in unprotected seas become routine. Now the indefatigable teenaged heroine must challenge the limits of her own endurance, both physically and emotionally, if she is to survive the most onerous ordeals so far. 'It is nought but the fear of woman's heart, And a dream of the night, Deirdre.' - Celtic faery-tale. NOTE: this is a fanciful story and does not depict or condone real-life behaviour. Moderately risqu content - sexual situations, alcohol abuse, drugs, impolite language, violence (al BBFC '15' rating). * * *
