We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen

4.0

So I picked up this book in a store and opened it to a random page, where it read, "I began to think. What I thought about was death." (paraphrase.. I'm too lazy to go pick up the book.)

THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT. The only reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is because I was SLIGHTLY disappointed in ONE aspect of the ending. It was important to me, but many people might not care that it wasn't addressed..

We, The Drowned spans three generations of sailors from the tiny town of Marstal. It's part historical-fiction, part sailing story, part romance, part ghost story. IT IS WONDERFUL.
