by Francesca de Tores
Saltblood by Francesca de Tores is a historical novel that imagines the life of Mary Read, a real-life 18th-century pirate. It's nicely written and very moving, and you're also propelled along by the sheer surprisingness of Read's story: this is a work of fiction but a lot of these things actually happened. At the back, the author lists primary and secondary sources for anyone wanting to find out more.
