Had an amazing email last week from German historian Simon Fuechtenschnieder who’s just written his PhD on the two breadfruit voyages of William Bligh, and came across my book That Bligh Girl.
He said, ‘I can only thank you very, very much! I started reading it three days ago and I have not been able to put it down ever since! It’s so wonderfully well written and though it is fictitious, the characters vividly, vividly come alive, I’m just absolutely delighted …To me, your book has clearly been one of the most enriching and best reads of this year so far, it is just cracking good. So thank you so very, very much and I’m sending you my very best of wishes from sunny and warm Germany.’
Dankeschön, Simon!
