あらすじ・解説
One-eyed Jack Falconer is a man with many secrets. It's 1938, the eve of World War II, and a pearling lugger in the Torres Strait is the place he chooses to hide. But Jack's demons follow him out to sea and rise to the surface just as surely as the pearl shell his divers collect from the dangers of the deep. Embittered, intelligent and self-destructive, Jack's only way to prove himself is to compete with, defeat and destroy the very weaknesses he fears.
Set in the expansive and beautiful Coral Sea, Jack's provocative tale of a dangerous captain and his young crew at odds with the elements - and each other - holds the reader breathless until the very last page.
Audible制作部より
Winner of the CJ Dennis Prize, this suspenseful story is set in 1938, on the eve of World War II. One-eyed captain Jack Falconer and his crew of misfits are on a pearling boat in the Torres Strait, foraging for trochus shells. Narrator Alan King gives Jack a laconic voice that is streaked with lonely bitterness and hints of violence - this is a man with a dark past that continues to torment him and the people unfortunate enough to be around. King embellishes the multicultural crew's accents, but his performance is steady and thoughtful as Jack wrestles with his demons and the elements out on the pitiless Coral Sea.
