Excerpt from The Voyages of the 'Morning When Sir Clements Markham's life was cut short by the unhappy accident of Sunday, January 30, 1916, he was on the point of writing an introduction to the present book. The proofs had reached this office on the Saturday afternoon, and were to have been sent him on the Monday. No one else could so appropriately have written a word of introduction. Sir Clements had a friendly hand for every Polar explorer, and his friendship, once given, was true and lasting. It was through him that 'The Voyages of the Morning' sees the light to-day, just as it was through him that the good ship herself was sent to relieve the Discovery. To him, as the friend and guide of the expedition and all concerned in it, the MS. was sent last summer, and on July 19, 1915, he wrote to Mr. Reginald Smith: - 'I have just received a narrative of the two voyages of the Morning; from New Zealand.

For as long as they could remember the Tanner Family had been planning to take a year long trip in their father's ship. The family had discussed many names for the ship, which was to be their home away from home for a year long journey, but in the end, they had settled unanimously on one name. So it was that they christened it the MORNING STAR. As the days drew near for their departure their father, Samuel was busy with all of the preparations, which had to be made. This after all was not a mere weekend trip, but as they were all soon to find out it would be a journey they would never forget.

A major new novel by the award-winning author of Good to a Fault and The Little Shadows, about two sisters who live aboard a merchant ship on a fateful voyage through the South Pacific. "Up from underneath comes a blue-black swell, a whale rising in a long arc. Kay waits, hovering in the difference between herself and the creature." What is the difference between ourselves and other humans? Between human and animal? Where does that difference persist in our minds? These are the questions Marina Endicott, one of our most beloved storytellers, explores in this sweeping, intoxicating novel set on the Morning Light, a ship from Nova Scotia sailing the South Pacific in 1912. Thea and Kay are half-sisters, separated in age by more than a decade. After the death of their stern father, head of a residential school in western Canada, the elder sister, Thea, returns east for her long-awaited marriage to the captain of the ship. She cannot abandon her younger sister, so Kay joins her, and together they embark on a life-changing voyage around the world. At the heart of The Difference is one crystallizing moment in Micronesia: Thea forms a bond with a young boy from one of the islands, and takes him as her own. The repercussions of this act reverberate through the novel--forcing Kay to examine her own assumptions about what is forgivable, and what is right. Taking inspiration from the true story of a small boy who was brought on board a Canadian sailing ship in the South Seas, Marina Endicott shows us a vanished world in all its wildness and wonder, and its darkness, prejudice, and difficulty too. She also brilliantly illuminates our own times through Kay's preoccupation with the idea of "difference"--between people, classes, continents, cultures, customs, and species. A breathtaking tour-de-force by one of our most celebrated authors, a writer with the astonishing ability to bring a past world to vivid life while revealing the moral complexity of our own.
