Isabella, which was short listed for the Parker Romantic Novel of the Year, also sheds light on the real cause of the mutiny and the fate of its leader, Fletcher Christian.

Isabella,  by Fiona Mountain, is published by Orion in hardback and trade paperback and is now available in paperback. 
It is the story of Fletcher's cousin, Isabella Curwen, a beautiful and rich young heiress who lived on Windermere and who Fletcher was undoubtedly in love with, according to new evidence.

The book also highlights the poet William Wordsworth’s sinister role in the events following the mutiny.

Isabella is a story that has been waiting to be told for 200 years. The story of the mutiny on the Bounty is a legend which has continued to fascinate people worldwide for over two centuries. Yet, despite the 2000 books and articles that have been written about it and the fact that the subject has been the inspiration for three major Hollywood films, the tragic love story at its heart has been ignored, the real cause of the mutiny has never been properly explained and the fate of its enigmatic leader, Fletcher Christian, has remained unsolved. Until now...!
