Joan Druett’s The Elephant Voyage is free today and tomorrow, August 7 -8, on Kindle.

The Elephant Voyage is a fascinating historical account of a crew who find themselves castaway on a desolate, wind-swept sub-Antarctic island, while on an ill-fated voyage to hunt elephant seals in the late 19th century. Their rescue and at least partial redemption also tells a tale of the lively and complex world of colonial New Zealand at the dawn of the 20th century. A wonderful book. By all means, go download a free copy!
