Summary
A tale of the mid-eighteenth-century slave trade. In 1752, William Kemp has a cargo ship built to transport slaves from Africa to the West Indies. Shipboard life is terrifying. The ship is becalmed, the crew and slaves sicken and die,… the ship's doctor leads a mutiny, and the remaining crew and slaves find shelter on the uninhabited coast of Florida. Some violence. Booker Prize 1992.
