À propos de cet audio
It is 1857, and Reverend Geoffrey Wilson has departed England to prove the literal truth of the Bible. The expedition heads towards Tasmania, where he is convinced he will find the real Garden of Eden. But the other passengers have their own agendas. Dr Potter is developing a sinister thesis, and the ship is crewed by smugglers of contraband brandy and tobacco. As the English passengers near Peevay's land, their bizarre notions become painfully at odds with reality. Their destination is no Eden but a world of hunting parties and colonial ethnic cleansing. A mighty collision is approaching....

Interesting story had me looking up history of Tasmania
The novel jumps around several different characters, storylines and historical settings, sometimes making you wonder what they have to do with each other and where it is going to end. Constructed as a series of journal entries, the characters are revealed to have multiple faucets ranging from the humorous / absurd to the tragic, the detestable and the honourable. I found some parts to be confusing but enjoyed the overall experience and recommend you join on a voyage of discovery with Captain Illiam Quillian Kewley.
