Long Lost Love is the eagerly awaited sequel to Long Lost Log, Michael Chapman Pincher’s memoir about his trip across the Atlantic Ocean. This self-contained sequel is bursting with a love of life and the sexual frisson of youth. This book is a gripping account of a true-life sailing trip from the Caribbean to Canada’s west coast. Along the way, the protagonist discovers the power of friendship, nature’s beauty and greed’s wickedness. The journey leads to a life-changing decision, one that affects the future.
After a rite of passage crossing the Atlantic in 1974, Mick jumps ship in the Caribbean to crew on a family yacht. Under the command of Count Arno Camaris, a European aristocrat, his wife and three daughters are sailing home to Canada on the sailboat Hoop. Falling foul of the first mate, Mick falls for one daughter and evokes the jealousy of another. Long Lost Love takes you on an exhilarating sea trip and land adventure centred around seven people living in close quarters. It explores the complex relationships between them on land and at sea. However, a common goal unites them, and they must overcome all that the ocean can throw at them. The interaction between Mick and the rest of the crew makes the book an enjoyable read as they deal with life’s timeless challenges. Confronted by four strong and fearless females, an autocratic captain and a ruthless first mate, his time on board is not an easy ride.
Don’t worry if you are not a boat fan, as the yacht is simply a ‘vehicle’ to contain the protagonists and their complicated relationships—the place where Mick’s moral dilemma tests his limits and forces him to make tough choices—this makes it a thrilling journey that kept me on the edge of my seat. As before, Pincher’s written another rollicking page-turner.
The memoir is a delightful story about one man’s physical and spiritual odyssey to find his true self. The tale begins as an adventure and shifts to romance before adding intrigue and danger. It ends on a great cliff-hanger, leaving me satisfied but wanting more.
Embark on a thrilling 1975 Pacific voyage with Count Camaris and his fearless daughters, accompanied by a charming deckhand and a cunning first mate. Prepare for a captivating romantic adventure filled with sharp wit, breath-taking scenery, and expert storytelling as they sail the treacherous waters off the West Coast of the Americas.
