The Queen of Whale Cay: The Eccentric Story of 'Joe' Carstairs, Fastest Woman on Water by Kate Summerscale

3.0

This woman definitely had a fascinating life! It's a great story. The book is marred somewhat by not great writing, and the super annoying tendency for the author to attribute trite psychological motivation to her subject without any evidence, but I'd still recommend it based on the subject matter alone.
