We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen

5.0

Beautiful, startling, heartbreaking, breathtaking, epic. Spanning a century from the failed revolutions in 1848 to the end of the Second World War, this book tracks the stories of the Danish town of Marstal and it's inhabitants, as they ply the seven seas of the world and human experience. Definitely a serious time commitment, but the book will drag you in and leave you gasping for breath every time you surface from its pages.
