The pearl divers and Crusoes of the Sargasso Sea
About This Book
A coastal adventure follows a band of young companions and seasoned seafarers through a sunlit seaside idyll into darker oceanic trials: a mysterious glass‑eyed mariner joins them, local life and fishing scenes give way to a pearl‑diving voyage that brings encounters with hostile islanders and desperate fighting. Later a mutiny leaves survivors adrift in the weed‑choked Sargasso Sea, where derelict vessels, strange marine life, eerie stillness, and hidden wreckage frame episodes of endurance, loss, and storytelling. Interwoven episodes and recollections gradually reveal past secrets and the personal histories that bind the voyagers together.
