I finished Desolation Island today.
Makes me happy, and sad. I am always happy to be reading such books but never want them to end- even when I have the sequel right there on the shelf and know it already to be a great one.
O’Brian has such descriptive powers and plumbs the depth of the human soul as well as he weaves his myriad threads of war, espionage, family life, politics, the natural world, and survival at sea. Honestly, he blows me away every time. I feel a resounding urge to visit the harbour.
