"The year is 1836, English clergyman William Yate sets sail from London, bound for the mission fields of northern New Zealand. Caught up in a mesmerising love affair that will test the imagination of everyone on board the Prince Regent, he is utterly transformed. Against the riverting backdrop of a four-month sea-voyage and the vividly imagined society if the ship, the story of Yate unfolds, drawing together the inarticulate hopes of the cabin passengers, the immigrany families of steerage, and the raw mew and boys of the crew. On landfall at Sydney, camaraderie gives way to treachery and the tight world of the ship breaks apart. Everyone is implicated in the scandal that grips the colonial town, yet it is Yate alone who stands to lose not only his reputation but also his life. Based on a true story, Slow water is a poised and elegant novel of the highest order with its commitment to historical accuracy exquisitely balanced by its modern attention to eroticism and narrative suspense."--BOOK JACKET.… (más)

(8.5) This book took a bit of getting into, mainly because of the vast array of characters introduced in the first 40 or so pages. They consisted of the passengers bound for a new life in Australia and New Zealand and the crew of the Prince Regent.
The story follows their three month journey from England and their arrival in Sydney. It is an in depth look at the experiences of sailing around the world in 1836 and also at the relationships formed on board. Not the least is that of English clergyman and a member of the crew. I was not expecting the turn of events and it is a story based on fact. I became caught up in this tale and see it as a worthy winner of the New Zealand Book Award in 2004. ( )
