Description
Rites of Passage by William Golding
A gripping historical novel that explores the tensions and emotions of life at sea in the early nineteenth century. Edmund Talbot's journal records the mounting tensions aboard an ancient warship, as officers, sailors, soldiers, and emigrants jostle in cramped darkness below decks.
As the crew faces a 'hell of self-degradation', shame proves to be a force deadlier than the sea itself. Golding's exceptional writing brings to life the fury, mystery, and challenge of life on board, creating an extraordinary novel that is both necessary and provoking.
