Pitcairn's Island

By Suzanne Whitaker

A "superb story of adventure and conflict" (Saturday Review), Pitcairn's Island follows the mutineers of the Bounty as they take refuge on the loneliest island in the Pacific. In the annals of seafaring there is no more fascinating account of South Seas adventure than Pitcairn's Island. The novel unfolds a tale of desperation, profligacy, and betrayal as it chronicles the fate of Fletcher Christian, his fellow mutineers aboard H.M.S. Bounty, and a handful of Tahitians, who together take refuge on the loneliest island in the Pacific. Living undiscovered for eighteen years, the settlers of Pitcairn establish a primitive but thriving community whose peace is ultimately shattered by a struggle of bitter vengeance. "An essential rounding out of a trilogy on the Bounty that ranks with the best literature pertaining to the sea." --Christian Science Monitor This description may be from another edition of this product.

One of my favorite books. Very uplifting.

This plus 1000 Paths To Love are a couple of my favorite books. What else is more important in life than love, family and friends? These books get to the realistic point on what it truly means to be a friend and the gifts of friendship.
