A SUNDAY TIMES BEST HISTORICAL FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR A BBC TWO
BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK CLUB PICK 1628. Embarking on a journey in
search of her father, a young girl called Mayken boards the
Batavia, the most impressive sea vessel of the age. During the long
voyage, this curious and resourceful child must find her place in
the ship's busy world, and she soon uncovers shadowy secrets above
and below deck. As tensions spiral, the fate of the ship and all on
board becomes increasingly uncertain. 1989. Gil, a boy mourning the
death of his mother, is placed in the care of his irritable and
reclusive grandfather. Their home is a shack on a tiny fishing
island off the Australian coast, notable only for its reefs and
wrecked boats. This is no place for a child struggling with a dark
past and Gil's actions soon get him noticed by the wrong people.
The Night Ship is an enthralling tale of human brutality,
providence and friendship, and of two children, hundreds of years
apart, whose fates are inextricably bound together.
