Why this must be read:
Post-Mutiny and Retribution Hornblower/Bush is a difficult pairing to pull off well. No matter what choices the author makes, the shadow of Archie Kennedy will always be hovering over things for many readers. in The Virtue of Fools, Versaphile confronts the (figurative) ghost of Archie Kennedy head on, with a heartwrenching and beautiful story about the price of mourning too much. It's not about letting go of the past, it's about making room for the future. A gorgeous bittersweet love story with strong characterizations and a beautifully spare style that fits perfectly with both characters.
