The photographs in the book, together with the main chapters and the sections on forms and techniques, show how much more there is to the Romanesque apart from round arches and heavy, powerful walls. Some of the pictures will convey the special atmosphere which characterizes a medieval church or monastery, and enable the reader to gain an understanding of the very different quality of life enjoyed by the people who lived there.

Set in the summer of 1824, the narrative follows British merchant Matthew Davis as he navigates the challenges of life in Honolulu, where he encounters the tragic history of Ka'alokulokupono, an elderly Hawaiian kidnapped by the notorious privateer Roger Beckwith. This epic tale weaves together themes of adventure, suffering, and resilience as it explores the lives of three men on a perilous journey across Hawai'i and the Pacific Rim, showcasing Ian MacMillan's masterful storytelling.
