More about the book

In 1841, Sir John Franklin and his wife moved to the remote penal colony of Van Diemen's Land, now Tasmania. There, Lady Jane fell in love with a lively aboriginal girl whom she adopted and attempted to civilize. Years later, St. John disappeared with his crew and two ships in the Arctic. Flanagan has woven a moving tale of colonialism, ambition, and the longings that make us human.
