The Offing by Benjamin Myers
3.0
I wasn’t keen on the first few pages: the language seemed flowery & verbose in a way that was self-conscious and ungainly.
But things quickly settle down, and this is a very enjoyable quick read.
It doesn’t feel particularly well researched, and much of the references and language are definitely too modern for the era. But that’s a minor grumble compared to the glory of the two main characters. They are a joy.
