Night Boat to Tangier by Kevin Barry
3.0

This is a weird one for me because the story didn’t do much for me, though it was well written and features some lyrical and evocative prose. I also listened to the audiobook, which had the author narrating it, and that guy did a fantastic job. It made the fiction atmospheric and the cadence was fantastic. It would easily be a 4 star for me but I found I was more interested in the descriptions than what the characters were up to.
