A review by isaacanator
We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen

4.0

This was a tomb of a book. Not expertly written by any means, but that is to be expected since it was translated from Danish and I am sure the nuance was lost.
3 full generations of a family at a time in history when sailing was being replaced by the engine.
Very very slow at parts, but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. There were some stories that really captured my imagination, and I expect them to stay with me for a while. A true adventure book about the sea.
