Review:

Another dark, chilling tale of nautical adventure from Joseph Conrad. Even when the sun is shining in his novels, it’s like it’s coming through curtains, never full, bright, happy sunshine.

Lots of nautical lingo, and you would need to be a sailor to understand what they all mean, eg. why squaring a yard or unfurling lanyards to the wind is important.

Very good, very quick, very solid read.
