On the Battersea Reach of the Thames, a mixed bag of the slightly disreputable, the temporarily lost, and the patently eccentric live on houseboats, rising and falling with the great river's tides. Belonging to neither land nor sea, they belong to one another in a motley yet kindly society. There is Maurice, by occupation a male prostitite, by happenstance a receiver of stolen goods, by nature a friend to all. And Richard, a buttoned-up ex-navy man, whose boat, much like its owner, dominates the Reach. Then there is Nenna, a faithful, loving but abandoned wife, and diffident mother of two young girls running wild in the waterfront streets.

Drifting. Characters. The narrating. And my attention. Not my cup of tea.
評分在海上讀完這本小書也算是應景,Penelope老奶奶的風格平淡雋永得像首陶詩,不動聲色中故事就好看起來,和門羅一濃一淡都是極愛。
評分Drifting. Characters. The narrating. And my attention. Not my cup of tea.
