"Tierra firme" / Mainland

I recommend you to read Tierra Firme, "Mainland", a book written by Matilde Asensi. It's a very nice book, with a lot of action, miystery, and with a sad story.
Catalina Solís is a Spanish girl who was going to sail to America  in the eighteenth century (who was going to sail to America). While she was in on the boat, pirates attacked it. She jumped into the sea and appeared at on a desert island, where she survived for two years. Some traders found her, and rescued her. She said she was Martín Solís (her brother). The boss of the traders traders' boss decided to pretend she was his son, changing his name to Martín Nevares.
Catalina, under her new personality, will start a new life as a trader and she will become one of the major smugglers in the eighteenth century.
