Additional Information
One of Greens harder to find books.
This book covers a century and a thousand miles of coastline. It reveals vividly the lives of some of the most remote people under the South African flag. Against these lonely lives is a grim background of old buried treasure and sudden death, shipwreck and looting a wild tale that has never been told before.
Strange characters appear on almost every page. Perhaps the strangest of all is Black Sophie, who kept a seamans boarding house in Cape Town and gave her name to an island.
If you have enjoyed Lawrence Greens previous stories of adventure in far places, this book will grip you immediately.
