Discover a classic adventure from the author of A Town Like Alice
and On the Beach. Keith Stewart is an ordinary man. However, one
day he is called upon to undertake an extraordinary task. When his
sister's boat is wrecked in the Pacific, he becomes trustee for his
little niece. In order to save her from destitution he has to
embark on a 2,000 mile voyage in a small yacht in inhospitable
waters. His adventures and the colourful characters he meets on his
journey make this book a marvellous tale of courage and friendship.
'Something about this author's calm, deliberate style creates
unexpected excitement... we are warmed by the justice and sheer
pleasure of it' Independent
