Its been a while since i've read a book that grabbed my attention like this. Experiencing the lives of Marstal's citizens and sailors was captivating, because every single one of them had such a different view on their life. To see the town through time and generations showed how a little town can change or be changed by it's people. Even though most of the characters are sailors they are all individuals and diverse. This book lets you experience a sailor's life on board of a ship and that of the women, children and elderly who stay ashore. I would definitely recommend this book to others.
