Following this up, it's , .

The novel is almost entirely dialogue in direct speech, with very few descriptive or reflective passages. Here the young man digests the fact that his dream of having his own command has come true.

All these hopes will of course be entirely shattered, as they must.

Hello

I went into this - the last book of my 2022 Modern Library Classics Challenge - not knowing anything about it and thinking I would be disappointed. Boy was I wrong!

It's a slow burn psychological thriller with great characters and expressive, evocative language. Based on Goodreads, people either like it or hate it. I'm in the Like It Camp.
