Running from the law in England, Jed takes passage on the Mayflower to America. He agrees to earn his way by working as a sailor, but having no experience he is shunned by the more experienced sailors aboard ship. The passengers endure multiple savage storms, seasickness, disease, and malnutrition during the long journey. Asked to help the doctor when his assistant falls ill, Jed finds his true cslling in medicine.
I really enjoyed this book. It described the difficult life aboard ship for both the passengers and crew in great detail. I especially enjoyed the parts where he helps the doctor with the many ailments and injuries throughout the journey.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The views and opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own. Thank you to Allium books for the free book.
