For the first few chapters I wondered why I was reading this novel, as there was little, if any, dialogue. I just couldn't get into it. But I hung on and I'm glad I did.
However, there is no happy ending here. Instead, the end reveals how British government officials used immoral manipulation to further Britain's imperial expansion toward those people and countries it wishes to control for its own profit. I might not have felt this way if I had not also been reading "The Immortal Irishman" by Timothy Egan. That book opens with a description of the seven hundred year "holocaust" England inflicted upon Ireland.
