English Passengers

Matthew Neale - read March 2012

Three stories, a crew of Manx smugglers, Tasmanian aborigines and an expedition of Englishmen. The three stories intertwine across the world. It gives an insight into the plight of the aborigines and the mindset of the English explorers. The Manxmen just have no luck but have the last laugh.

The book was the winner of the 2000 Whitbred Book of the Year. It was a good read once I got the hang of the style of writing.
