I have recently listened to Sharpe’s Tiger. It was riveting. I am wondering about the punishment of 2000 lashes. It sounded like a death sentence and I am wondering if that was actually done. A firing squad would be more humane. Also, I am a little skeptical of how well he was after that lashing. Perhaps I missed some of the time line since I was listening rather than reading. Thank you for your consideration.
