Because some sentences deserve more attention …

‘The North Water’ is not a ‘nice’ book, and I can’t stress this enough. It is crammed with cruelty, violence and death. So when you come across a sentence like this one, it stands out – a beautiful sentence in the middle of all the horror.

🥰 It’s a good book too – just a bit too brutal at times!
