Trade Winds is enthralling tale based loosely around the Swedish East India Company's first journey to China in 1731.
When a reckless young Scotsman in Edinburgh wins a ship in a game of chance, he sails to Gothenburg, Sweden to make his fortune. Here he meets a strong-willed merchant's daughter who has been swindled out of her inheritance. They embark on a disastrous marriage of convenience and ultimately a daring voyage to the Far East.
