More about the book

Set against the backdrop of 1783, the narrative unfolds after the East India Company's Grosvenor shipwrecks on the coast of southeast Africa, where 125 survivors face both the wilderness and local tribes. Stephen Taylor delves into this gripping saga, using unpublished materials to distinguish fact from myth. The story explores cultural misunderstandings that led to tragedy while highlighting the experiences of those who returned home and the enigma surrounding those who remained. It offers a deep analysis of survival and the complexities of human interaction in a foreign land.
