Tim Weed English Passengers blends a funny and compulsively readable seafaring novel with a dark tale of the Tasmanian genocide. It’s an uneasy mix, I found, in large part because of Kneale’s choice to write the book in the first person from multiple points of view, as opposed to using a fully omniscient or alternating third person POV. Here's the rest of my analysis: http://bit.ly/1Ilqnqb.

I welcome your thoughts!
