The Far Land: 200 Years of Murder, Mania and Mutiny in the South Pacific

"When I traveled to Pitcairn in 2018, it was not my intention to write a
book about the infamous HMAV Bounty’s mutineers and their descendants.
But the longer I spent there, the more questions I had: How did forty-eight
people come to live on an island impossible to access by commercial
conveyance? And what really happened to their forebearers who settled
on the lonely rock some two hundred years prior? Every time I peeled
back the proverbial onion, I found another layer that seemed more
unbelievable than the last. This operatic saga of treason and obsession—
paired with the abject strangeness of a modern society of castaways—was,
quite simply, the most fantastical story I had ever come across in my
fifteen-plus years as a journalist."
