09.14: Naomi J. Williams
2015-08-14 23:03:15| Powells Books Events Calendar
In her inventive, gripping debut, Naomi J. Williams reimagines the historical Lapérouse expedition, a voyage of exploration that left Brest in 1785 with two frigates and 200 men in a brave attempt to circumnavigate the globe for science and the glory of France. Grounded in historical fact but refracted through a powerful imagination, Landfalls (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) follows the exploits and heartbreaks not only of the men on the ships but also of the people affected by the voyage. By turns elegiac, profound, and comic, Landfalls reinvents the maritime adventure novel for the 21st century.
