Description	Journeys to the End of the World (2007) is the debut novel by Clive Algar which is reviewed in the May 2009 issue of Historical Novels Review Online. The review, by Amanda Yesilbas, says that the novel deftly ties the stories of three compelling characters into a haunting work that traces the patterns of violence, survival, and the often guilty-feeling process of healing.Yesilbas continues: “The characters, especially Daniel Butler, are drawn with a delicate and subtle hand that makes their changes in personality and circumstances seem very natural and believable. The book offers a fascinating look at South Africa and its activities during WWI that many American readers might be unaware of, and the tale of Daniel emphasizes the horror of war and its after effects in a visceral way. This lovely book is engrossing and will leave the reader thinking.”A review in the Cape Times by Phil Murray describes the novel as "a riveting read" and continues: "The sinking of the Mendi and the battle of Delville Wood make this book serious and austere. But the delicate issues of love, courage, regret and shame make it an honest, authentic novel."
