“An epic with, as epics should have, more than a touch of poetry about it, and possibly the grimmest, but also most beautifully written, novel set at sea that I have read since William Golding's Pincher Martin.”
— Andrew Stuttaford, New Criterion
“[This] stark, mesmerizing book reads like an existential argument between [life's] irreconcilable truths, a Beckett play bobbing in the open water. . . . This fine book contains multitudes of experience.”
— Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal
“A lucid, lyrical tale. . . . Lynch's spare and precise novel has a detached, almost mythical quality.”
— The Irish Times
