About this product

Product Information

'A big, ambitious novel with a rich historical sweep and a host of narrative voices. Its subject is a vicar's ludicrous expedition in 1857 to the Garden of Eden in Tasmania, as meanwhile, in Tasmania itself, the British settlers are alternately trying to civilise and eliminate the Aboriginal population ... The sort of novel that few contemporary writers have either the imagination or the stamina to sustain' - Daily Telegraph

  • scurvy knaves, abominable priest & piratical pursuits on a romping good ship to Tasmania you won't be disappointe.

    Ordered for my partner - I read it over 10 years ago and loved it but cannot find my copy - he is loving this romp of a story - few likeable characters but just a really good novel.

  • The English Passengers

    Gripping, robust, and sometimes brutal, it tells the story of the early colonisation of Tasmania from the viewpoint of several different and disparate characters, (none of them saints) including some of the Aboriginals. A great read.
