"Romance" is a sweeping tale of high-seas adventure and political intrigue, co-authored by the celebrated literary masters Joseph Conrad and Ford Madox Ford (writing as F.M. Hueffer). Set against the lush and dangerous backdrop of the West Indies during the early nineteenth century, the story follows young John Kemp, an idealistic Englishman who finds himself entangled in a web of piracy, corruption, and forbidden love in Jamaica and Cuba.
