Opening with Mungo Park displaying the whiteness of his buttocks to his Moorish captors, this romp moves from the deserts of Africa through the slums of Georgian London to the parlours of Scotland. The defiantly anachronistic tone of the opening chapter puts the reader in no doubt that here is a yarn. The novel is based around Park's efforts to find the source of the river Niger, but weaves in the tale of Ned Rise, a thief and confidence trickster who struggles to fulfil the promise of his name. Boyle's characteristic concerns of social justice and the force of destiny recur, the boisterous humour fading in tandem with the youthful optimism of the protagonists. Reissue. (Kirkus UK)
Set in 1795, Water Music is the rambunctious account of two men's wild adventures through the gutters of London and the Scottish Highlands to their unlikely meeting in darkest Africa. Boyle's other works include The Tortilla Curtain.
