Sobre IBD

When a West Indian sailor joins the crew of a merchant vessel en route from Bombay to London, his fragile health becomes the focus of the crew’s moral and emotional tensions. As the ship battles a ferocious storm in the open sea, loyalties shift and suspicions rise, exposing the complexities of duty, prejudice, and human solidarity. Both a gripping maritime tale and a meditation on collective responsibility, the novel explores how crises at sea strip men down to their moral core. The shifting winds and towering waves are as much psychological as physical, making the voyage a harrowing journey into the heart of human nature.
