The Mauritius Command | Patrick O'Brian
Mehso-so

A re-read: I‘ve gone through most of the Patrick O‘Brian books already, but this fits both #ReadingAfrica2022 for #Mauritius #Réunion, and #Booked2022 #Nautical, so I went back to it. A bit of a cheat because it doesn‘t really get into Mauritian culture at all, just conflict between France and England with these African islands as some of the many pawns. Not my favourite in the series, as others do get a bit more into culture and science.

My morning view, which reminds me to pick up book 4 in the Master and Commander series. It's been great sailing around some of the regions and places Aubrey and Maturin visited. #ReadingOnRoam

AceOnRoam @batsy @Knightingale I know right. Sadly I think that pirate ship is a summer party boat and couldn't sail to save its life. But it looks gorgeous 😍 7y
