Dublin, 1904. Nora Joseph Barnacle is a 20-year-old from Galway working as a maid at Finn’s Hotel. She enjoys the liveliness of her adopted city and on June 16 - Bloomsday - her life is changed when she meets Dubliner James Joyce, a fateful encounter that turns into a lifelong love. Despite his hesitation to marry, Nora follows Joyce in pursuit of a life beyond Ireland, and they surround themselves with a buoyant group of friends that grows to include Samuel Beckett, Peggy Guggenheim, and Sylvia Beach.

Anne Bonny is a young woman of privilege who is anything but comfortable, hell-bent on a voyage of self-realisation with or without the consent of those around her. Novelty-seeking, contrary, stubborn and bisexual, she is also neurodivergent, brave and capable of deep and enduring love. She spent all of two months actually being a pirate. Seaborne is the thrilling and sensuous imagining of the loss, frustration and desires that steer this lonely daughter of a plantation owner towards elopement, two marriages, two pregnancies, violence, trial for piracy and legendary status.

Nora Barnacle ist zwanzig und Zimmermädchen in einem Dubliner Hotel, als sie den zwei Jahre älteren James Joyce kennenlernt. Aus der zunächst körperlichen Beziehung entwickelt sich eine tiefe Liebe. Nora ist bereit, alles für Joyce aufzugeben - verlässt mit ihm sogar ihre Heimat Irland, trotz seiner Weigerung, sie zu heiraten. Schwierige Jahre in Triest, Pula und Zürich folgen, geprägt von großer Armut, von Joyce' Trunksucht und von seinem labilen Gesundheitszustand, vor allem aber von seiner Besessenheit: Für ihn zählt nur sein literarisches Werk.
