Winner of the Booker Prize
Sailing to Australia in the early years of the nineteenth century, Edmund Talbot keeps a journal to amuse his godfather back in England. Full of wit and disdain, he records the mounting tensions on the ancient, sinking warship where officers, sailors, soldiers and emigrants jostle in the cramped spaces below decks. Then a single passenger, the obsequious Reverend Colley, attracts the animosity of the sailors, and in the seclusion of the fo'castle something happens to bring him into a "hell of degradation," where shame is a force deadlier than the sea itself.
The July and August book club reads will be available for pickup at the June meeting to give everyone plenty of time!
Reserve a copy of the book through a patron account or call the Beekley at 860-379-7235. The Beekley Book Club is a book discussion group that meets on the third Tuesday of each month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. All are welcome to join in.
