About this title

Synopsis

Archipelago travels to new, intoxicating latitudes. It comes as no surprise that a real-life event sparked off the idea for this novel: the flooding of her brother's house in Trinidad in 2008. Two years later, Roffey embarked on a boat journey from Port of Spain through the Panama Canal and to the Galápagos. The result is an adventure blazing with a lust for life.
