The Happy Return by C.S. Forester

5.0

Going though this series in chronological order The Happy Return is my favorite so far. Excellent sea battles and an interesting romantic turn for Captain Hornblower, his loveless marriage notwithstanding. I wasn’t surprised to learn that this was the first story published as the interactions with his “new” officer Mr Bush ignores the relationship built between the two when they met as lieutenants nearly a decade before. A couple continuity errors are barely nitpicks when it comes to this story however, very well done and well performed.
