Mutiny on the Bounty

John Boyne

Mutiny on the Bounty is the first novel to explore all the events relating to the Bounty's voyage, from its long journey across the ocean to the crew's adventures on the island of Tahiti and the subsequent 48 day expedition towards Timor. A vivid recreation of the famous mutiny, the story is packed with humour, violence and historical detail. Observed from the perspective of 14-year-old John Jacob Turnstile - a juvenile delinquent rescued from prison when the captain's valet is injured and a replacement is urgently needed - it presents a very different portrait of Captain Bligh and Mr Christian.
