The Sailors Return (1925) is a novel by David Garnett, published several years after he was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Hawthornden Prize for Lady into Fox (1922). His fourth novel explores themes of race and empire while showcasing his original and often controversial literary style. "He was in no hurry to go ashore and waited half an hour for the confusion to be straightened out on board and the turmoil to subside on land before he motioned to the young negro who accompanied him to bear a hand with a large basket of woven grass." Arriving home in Dorset, England, aboard the Duke of Kent, mariner William Targett brings a young African woman and child with him. Soon, the hostile townspeople discover that the woman is not only Williams wife but also that he is the father of her child. Despite their love and attempts to live peacefully, the racist attitudes of Targett's countrymen make it impossible to live safely in England, leading to unspeakable tragedy. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of David Garnett's The Sailors Return is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
