We are excited to announce that our latest book club pick, longlisted for the 2023 Baillie Gifford, is The Wager by David Grann!
So much of this rollicking tale of The Wager is as entertaining as it is foreign: the life of a sailor in the 18th Century, a war between England and Spain literally called The War of Jenkins’ Ear, trying to survive at the edge of the known world in hostile conditions, cold-blooded murder and audacious mutiny. You leave the book amazed that any of them survived–let alone somehow 33 of them even made it back from the southern tip of South America all the way to London. This fascinating read keeps you permanently on the edge of your seat and has an ending to match such momentum.
