Huh Claire North’s Slow Gods hit me like a ton of bricks. A wonderfully dense book, in the sense that a lot happens in a few pages.
There’s a steamboat regatta next weekend. If all goes well, my dad gets to revisit a ship after seven decades. There’s a good chance he is the last person alive who has been on that boat before it sank in 1960.
