4.0 out of 5 stars
A good read!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bostoner (Hardcover)
I just finished this book and my husband is now re-reading it. When he first read it, he almost turned me off, because of all the history in it. I thought it was going to be another Patrick O'Brien thing. But after a few pages I was hooked. Miles, the main character, is very well-developed and it was a little creepy to get inside his head in the middle part. But the way he sees my home town of Boston and the Cape really rings true. It's better than what the chamber of commerce wants everyone to see. And we're already thinking about a fall trip to Vancouver Island. Is this a novel or travelogue? This book is not one to read casually or even just once. It is full of rich descriptions and characters that are so real. Even if it did make me uncomfortable at times I enjoyed this book and look forward to the rest of the trilogy!

A fascinating read,

I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. This is an intricate story that ties together historical events with the present day descendents of their ancestors. I learned a little about the history of one of the tall ships in a pleasant and entertaining manner. I am looking forward to Andrew Buckley's next effort.
