Description
Jannaway's Mutiny is a historical fiction novel that explores the secret causes behind one of the British Navy's most catastrophic mutinies. In 1931, the Royal Navy's Atlantic Fleet staged a mass uprising at Invergordon, Scotland. The story follows Frank Jannaway, a sailor who finds himself at the centre of this event. After serving with distinction at the Battle of Jutland, Frank reunites with Anita Yarrow, his childhood friend, and helps her gain promotion to officer rank. Years later, when Anita's brother is bullying his officers, Frank is appointed to his ship, leading to tragic consequences. This novel paints a vivid picture of love, ambition, self-sacrifice, and heroism set against the backdrop of an era from the Edwardian Golden Age to wartime Britain in the blitz.
