Read with thanks to Pigeonhole in staves. I really enjoyed this, not a book I'd have normally picked up as it's a period of history I know nothing about, and I know even less about the Navy - I definitely learnt through the book. 
I liked the character of Nightengale, he has flaws and is very self aware of these. It's sad how restrictive the laws and society has been in the past, glad there are improvements nowadays. 
Will look for the next book to read.
