Offshore by Penelope Fitzgerald
4.0
4.5. Fitzgerald is wonderful as always. I can see why this one in particular got so much attention; it's exemplary of her kaleidoscopic style. It really does have the feeling of looking at a watercolor, making your own impressions, and then seeing the greater thing as a whole.
Offshore has some of Fitzgerald's most easily likeable characters, though they are just as flawed and human as ever. Martha and Trisha, the two young daughters, are her quintessential young people, so witty and charming and full of life.
