The book began with someone emptying a chamber pot in Grimsby in the 1880s, which wasn’t particularly auspicious; but it did improve! It was a story about a girl going to Denmark to find her long-lost father: the main plot was rather unconvincing, but it did include some nice descriptions of life in a fishing town in late 19th century Denmark, and some Danish words which I already knew and plenty which I didn’t.
That’s all I have to say about that.
