    Gripping and Grim, Like a Train Wreck
  

*by K***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2005*

Unlike a few of the other reviewers/readers, I thought Mr. Taylor was a brilliant storyteller.  How else to explain why I couldn't put this book down and had trouble falling asleep at night thinking about it?  It is the rare storyteller that can keep you enthralled when the outcome is a foregone conclusion.I believe that it is precisely the addition of historically relevant exposition, intermingled with tidbits of human drama, that make this story so much more than the otherwise grim tale of "they sailed, they shipwrecked, they died."  I learned a great deal of history and perspective about the time period.  I found the story fascinating.  It did take me awhile to become gripped by the tale (having to be introduced to all the major characters got a bit confusing early on), but even in this, Mr. Taylor uses his prose to gently remind us of who they are as the story progresses.  By the end, I was saddened that we couldn't know more about most of them.  I felt I had shared a part of their life and loss, and I was moved by the stories of people that became a small and tragic bit of history.

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2017*

This was a fascinating read. I'd never heard of this ship wreck which happened on the coast of Africa in 1782. The book not only covers the sinking of the ship and the fate of the survivors, but it also tells you a lot about their lives and the times they lived in. Some reviewers have called this a drawback, but it was all very interesting to me. It is detailed without being too long. If you like historical tales, this is a good one.

    Caliban's shore
  

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2012*

This book describes a ship wreck that occurred because of the absence of navigation devices and determination of longitude. This particular voyage ended with a ship wreck on the coast of Africa. The survivors, of course, had no way of knowing where they were and how to rescue themselves. A good share of the survivors were members of the crew who set off to search for supplies and rescue. This shipwreck occurred before the idea of women and children first. When searchers arrived, they found some had died, others had left and others became members of African communities in the area.
