Tensions quickly swell as the British settlers refuse to relinquish the vices of their past. Social, racial, and sexual schisms render the once paradisiac island into a hotbed of discord and bloody violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePitcairn\u003c\/em\u003e vividly explores the conflict between personal freedoms and public responsibilities. \u003cem\u003ePitcairn\u003c\/em\u003e is Richard Bean’s brutal telling of the colonisation of the remote island of Pitcairn by Fletcher Christian and the Bounty mutineers.
