A review by kater
Landfalls by Naomi J. Williams

5.0

I loved this book. Sometimes you can judge a book by its cover - found this on a shelf at the library, thought it looked good and the summary sounded interesting. Before I read this my total knowledge about Lapérouse and his voyage was that he arrived in Sydney shortly after the first fleet and there are some areas that are named after him.

And then I became entranced with this book and the stories of the times these explorers were on land. I dreamt of them, I mourned them when they died, even if they had already been long dead. I learnt about the different places they visited, their discoveries and the different cultures they ran into.

A well researched book that was very enjoyable.
