Why this must be read:
This is another LKU that is more interested in the way in which these characters lives their lives than in the miraculous survival and reunion that preceded. Although the story is set in their old age, Janis provides insights into the events leading up to the moment in time that is at the story’s heart and the road they traveled to get there. It was a bumpy road to be sure, but that just adds to the sweetness of this tale which flirts with schmoopiness, but retains just enough of an edge to keep it from becoming cloying. The contrast between the Admiral Hornblowers in this and Clotho’s previously recc'd story is most interesting.
Comfort and Joy
And with this rec, I close my stint at the helm of the jolly crack boat. It's been my pleasure to steer you this month and I hope you enjoy the stories.
