Product Description
Product Description
Matthew Kneale's English Passengers tells the story of an 1857 expedition to Tasmania, in search of the Garden of Eden, whose members - including a vicar and a sinister racial theorist - don't realise they are actually aboard a manx smuggling ship. Told by a score of different characters and packed with drama, comedy and punch, English Passengers is a major work of the imagination.

If you know anyone travelling to Australasia this book is the perfect present. It has pace and chuckles galore whilst being historically very informative. Not good for bedtime reading as you will find it very difficult to put the book down but it is excellent for airport lounges and long-haul. You will certainly quote material from it to amuse your friends. I have made a present of English Passengers to many discriminating friends.
