{"product_id":"english-passengers-9780385497442","title":"English Passengers","description":"In 1857 when Captain Illiam Quillian Kewley and his band of rum smugglers from the Isle of Man have most of their contraband confiscated by British Customs, they are forced to put their ship up for charter. The only takers are two eccentric Englishmen who want to embark for the other side of the globe. The Reverend Geoffrey Wilson believes the Garden of Eden was on the island of Tasmania. His traveling partner, Dr. Thomas Potter, unbeknownst to Wilson, is developing a sinister thesis about the races of men. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMeanwhile, an aboriginal in Tasmania named Peevay recounts his people's struggles against the invading British, a story that begins in 1824, moves into the present with approach of the English passengers in 1857, and extends into the future in 1870. These characters and many others come together in a storm of voices that vividly bring a past age to life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/16\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385497442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.04h x 5.20w x 1.05d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Costa Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Costa Book Awards - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/07\/2001 pg. 28\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/09\/2001 pg. 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e66993 \/ English Passengers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.4 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 31\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Matthew Kneale","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44736555843765,"sku":"9780385497442","price":16.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_7574769d-2713-4687-8782-d2812e687665.jpg?v=1729609608","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/english-passengers-9780385497442","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
