โฆ Synopsis
You can almost smell the seasalt... a superb mix of lyricism and economy.' - Sunday Herald, UK
This is the story of one of the most shocking events of the seventeenth century: the wreck of a Dutch ship, the Batavia , off the west coast of Australia, and the extraordinary events that befell its stranded survivors. It is also the story of Judith Bastiaansz, sailing with her family to a new life, who is caught up in something well beyond her experience: first infatuation and then, perhaps, something far more dangerous. Combining a gripping narrative with vivid historical detail, this is a beautiful, terrifying, deeply moving novel of love and anarchy.
'A cross between Robinson Crusoe and Lord of the Flies - a powerful read.' Tracy Chevalier, The Guardian
