Book Description:
Close Quarters, the sequel to one of William Golding's most admired novels - Rites of Passage, winner of the Booker Prize in 1980 - recounts the further adventures of the 18th century fighting ship, converted at the close of the Napoleonic War to carry passengers and cargo from England to Australia. The narrative unfolds in the journal of Edmund Fitzhenry Talbot, a young aristocrat with a future, but vulnerable and unsrue of himself aboard ship.
