The Rescue

Meer over het boek

The narrative unfolds aboard a yacht, where the protagonist, Carter, grapples with confusion and unease amidst a crew of Lascars and the snores of white men. The presence of a distressed dog, Rover, reflects Carter's own uncertainty about the unfolding situation. His youthful perspective offers a blend of concern and naive enjoyment as he navigates the complexities of leadership and loyalty, particularly regarding Lingard, a figure he finds difficult to fully dislike. The tension escalates with Shaw's loud speculation about a missing lady and the captain's absence.
