The Napoleonic wars are now over, with Hornblower dispatched to - you guessed it! - the West Indies in charge of a much reduced squadron, where he finds himself embroiled (yet again) in various and sundry adventures, all 'topped off' by his survival of a Hurricane after his appointment is over.
I'd read elsewhere that this could be described as a coda to the main Hornblower saga, and that seems a fair enough comparison to me: basically, an extra piece added on to the end of a tale!

This book was breathtaking - the whole story is told through the thoughts of a servant girl (in the 3rd person). Yet it doesn’t, at any point, become boring. There’s so much going on: her escape, her methods of survival, the people and animals she nearly meets along the way, the landscape and its contrast to the squalor of “civilised” life left behind in Jamestown. You can feel her desperation to get away, he wonder at what she sees and her drive to survive.
Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough.
