If you think you know about history’s Mutiny in the Bounty, think again. Here’s what I wrote about this book when I first read it: “THE FAR LAND is like a bowl of pudding in the refrigerator, one that calls for a stolen spoonful every 20 minutes or so. Actually, pudding it ain’t. More like that coconut cake that provides a sliver 4 times a day. Or those Samoa girl scout cookies. Four of them go down quick. Or crack cocaine that keeps you excited. I printed up the PDF of the book, two pages per A4 sheet (or whatever the size here in the EU) and now have a huge stack - of delicious reading - held together by a huge horse-clip. I’m not that many pages into it - but what I’ve read I have repeated to dinner guests. What a book. What a book. What a book!”
