Benjamin Wood’s Seascraper is excellent. On reflection, I think I was most impressed by its authenticity: you could believe the character and – perhaps just as important in this case – the environment Wood was describing. And I liked the fact that the novel ended on an upbeat note, one which allowed you to mentally add another chapter…
Although in many respects not a lot happens, it’s difficult to pass comment without indulging in a spoiler of some kind. So I won’t. I’ll just recommend it. The book’s slim enough to read in a single sitting…
