Reviews
After 40 years, George Grey is leaving his work in foreign countries and returning to live in retirement in England. He returns to a daughter who scares him, a house that haunts him, and a culture that befuddles him. It is only in purchasing a small boat that he recovers a sense of personal balance. Returning to the ocean provides the security that his native land and his compatriots seem to suck out of him. Raban's new novel is a kindly exploration of the psyche of an expatriate Englishman trying to adjust to post-empire Britain. The descriptions of people and places give a true sense of the ``new'' life George faces rather unwillingly. The reader will enjoy accompanying George on his voyages, both nautical and personal. Highly recommended. W. Keith McCoy, Plainfield P.L., N.J.
