More Than Just a Sea Tale

This short book turned out to be a story I couldn't put down. Although I could find plenty of pitiful characters, they all had elements of the whole human balance sheet, good, bad and fascinating. I have no idea if the translation is a good one or not, but the story went along very smoothly, which is saying a lot as the subjects were so imbedded in the dark side of the life of merchan marines. Izzo will be missed, at least by this reader.
