A review by jefecarpenter
The Wine-Dark Sea by Patrick O'Brian

3.0

I am enthralled by this series of novels, but this one, The Wine Dark Sea, is where my interest was stretched, and only my loyalty kept me truly anticipating the reading. It's as if the writer takes us into his heart so far that he allows us to see his characters through long pages of little action, getting to know their lives as you would a cousin's who you had to spend a long summer vacation with, seeing them at a depth where not a lot has to happen to see new facets of their souls.
