Book summaryIn the early 1800s, Edmund Talbot, a young and rather priggish Englishman, takes passage on a boat heading for Australia where he is to be an official in the colonial government. In addition to Talbot, many of the eccentric passengers--a sexually predatory sailor, the aging coquette Miss Zenobia Brocklebank, the ship's tyrannical captain--undergo profound changes in the course of the voyage, during which a naive clergyman is victimized and, finally, pushed to suicide. These events are described in the diary Talbot keeps en route. "Rites of Passage" won the Booker McConnell prize in 1980. Media reviews"'Rites of passage' is as skillful and resonant as the best of William Golding's other novels, which are among the best written by any Englishman these past 25 years." |
