An historical that really felt of the time and place, black mould, maggoty bread et al.
Told as a record of events it is always looking back on how Harry and Garnet came to be living in Rio.
And dear me, I really felt all the horrors of sailing in the navy at that time. There was no glamour for anyone.
How they survived is a miracle - storms, attack, illness, arrest.
I so wanted to know what happens after the end, I guess more monetary arguments over the years!
