Tonight I ease into Christmas week with a Bolitho and a glass of Black Tot Rum. As a glass half full kind of chap I’m enjoying Kent’s writing. He’s no Patrick O’Brian but he’s a grand writer. All I need is a tall ship and a glass to sail her by. Near enough! #readingndrinking

After a lot of Seven Years War/French & Indian War purchases, this one seeks to trap up the story of the French Atlantic in the subsequent era. Alan Forrest is a Revolutionary/Napoleonic Wars legend. This will be good! 📚 🇫🇷 🇬🇧 🇺🇸 #histbookchat
