Description

A gripping tale of 18th-century maritime adventure, Landfalls is a story of science, glory and human heartbreak. In 1785, two frigates set out from Brest with over 200 men, bound for a historic voyage of discovery around the globe. Naomi J. Williams's inventive novel brings to life the exploits of this brave expedition, as well as the people affected by their journey - from the natives and Europeans they encountered, to those left waiting at home. With a blend of comedy, elegy and profundity, Landfalls is an absorbing tale of the high seas and the world on the cusp of a new era. Grounded in historical fact, yet refracted through a powerful imagination, this novel offers a unique perspective on one of history's most ambitious voyages.
