Keelhaul — Chapman Pincher

Keelhaul is a raw, risqué voyage across the stormy waters of a 1970s misadventure-think Hitchhiker's Guide at sea.Sail from Panama to British Columbia aboard a battered yacht with a crew stitched together by secrets: a brooding Austrian count, his formidable wife, their three rebellious daughters, a wide-eyed English deckhand, and a dangerously charismatic first mate. Power struggles, seduction, and betrayal churn below deck-turning a dreamy voyage into a salty, high-stakes survival tale.Told with biting humour and a deeply personal edge, this autofictional tale sails into taboo waters-sex, class, identity, and the politics of freedom-with unflinching honesty. If you crave novels that smash gender roles, embrace flawed characters, and unearth the messy truths of desire and identity, Keelhaul will leave you breathless.Hoist the sails and hold on tight-Keelhaul is a raw, unfiltered plunge into sex, secrets, and survival.
