Why read it?
1 author picked Monsoon as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I’m not a great Wilbur Smith fan, but I read this story because it involves trade with India in the age of sail and the monsoon, and it has stayed with me. There is a sweeping plot taking an 18th Century Englishman on a perilous voyage around the Cape of Good Hope to the Indian Ocean, memorable characters, victims of greed and perpetrators of evil, and some brilliantly described action scenes.

From J.G.'s list on historical fiction to travel across Europe and beyond.
