It's been a while since I've read it, but I remember enjoying it, and it's probably worth looking at if you're interested in Captain Cook or the effects of British colonialism. |
This does seem interesting -- didn't notice this one before when I browsed through Amazon's offerings. Thanks, I will download the sample and see how I like it.
