⭐️⭐️⭐️

A new Australian author for me and although this one is playing in the same space as one of my favourite novels of 2017 - “The North Water” it just didn‘t carry off the “evil man on a sailing ship” thing nearly as well. I did however learn plenty about Ye Olden Times in Sydney and the difficulty in locating Bass Strait. A serviceable beach read.

LeeRHarry Great review - I loved the North Water too 😊 5y

I‘ve started reading this one, and rather than the 1st person POV chapters being named for the character, there is a symbol at the beginning of the chapter and at the bottom of each page to let you know who is speaking.

Sue @Libby1 Not at all. The 1st person POV chapters are interspersed with a 3rd person POV of an officer who mis trying to find out what has happened, so it‘s well flagged. (edited) 5y
Izai.Amorim How will that work on a kindle? You can have images but not as elegant as in print. Greetings, Sue. Long time no see... 5y
Sue Good question @Izai.Amorim ! (I don‘t know the answer though) Nice to see you! How is your new book coming along? 5y
Izai.Amorim @Sue Thanks. The book is draining all my energy and free time. Trying to finish by the end of the year. It‘s a family saga covering one century 1889-1989. I‘ve reached 1971 so I‘m almost there. The problem is, it‘s about my own family so it‘s not always easy. I‘m more comfortable writing funny stuff and this story is definitely not funny. But I had to get it out of my system... 5y
Sue Wow @Izai.Amorim , what a challenge you‘ve given yourself. Good luck with it, and I hope you feel better for it. 5y
Izai.Amorim @Sue Thanks! 👍👍 5y
