Caveat: I couldn't stand the narrator on this recording, which, I'm sure, colored what I thought of the story itself. And I was very tired when I listened. But my overall impression was that it was only okay. A bit of a pat ending. I should read it myself and see if my impression changes.

Exceptionally sad, but I really liked reading it. Tragedy but with a purpose. Probably won't ever revisit it again, but that's life!

A troubled man lives on a barge roaming the North Sea between Great Britain and Germany. There are so many open questions at the end of the book, but the story the man tells is so poignant and all I can say is wow. Recommended read, even though the open questions at the end left me wanting. The book did provide options for you to decide the answers.

I 'enjoyed' this book...I quote it because 'enjoy' is maybe not something you can do with a book about such great loss. But this author writes beautifully and I was drawn into the story almost immediately.

I struggled through the beginning third mainly because I was annoyed with the diary aspect...writing about a 'what if life' didn't really interest me. However, as the story progressed, I realized how important that aspect was and just how unique that story-telling tool was.
