Description
Deeply impressive, English Passengers is a sweeping adventure story that vividly brings a past age to life. In 1857, Captain Illiam Quillian Kewley and his band of rum smugglers are forced to put their ship up for charter, leading to an electrifying journey to the other side of the globe. The novel masterfully weaves together a rich historical narrative with a host of narrative voices, exploring themes of identity, culture, and the human condition.
