| In 1959， young Ralph travels to Australia on an ocean liner with his mother and her smooth-talking American lover， Mr. Chaunteyman. As the three journey from England， Ralph witnesses the beginning of another love affair--this one between two other passengers: Penny， sailing to meet her husband in Adelaide， and Robert， a young man on his way to work at a satellite tracking station. Along with these voyagers， the ship is carrying a deadly cargo whose lethal potential gradually comes to light as the Armorica sails onward. Brimming with unforgettable descriptons of the sea， Acts of Mutiny is the story of Ralph s own memory and what he comes to suspect is a misremembered past--a voyage with undercurrents of sexual tension and betrayal that offers him a glimpse of something much larger than his boy s eyes could understand. |
