I will make it short. The reasons for my DNFing this book:
Main character no. 1 - Flora (12 years old, her father is the captain of a whaling ship and she is with him on his tour, it´s 1883):
- She "accidentely" gropes the back of a sailor, because his back is so broad and his skin has the colour of honey (and she enjoys groping him)
- Two Inuit boys show their penises to her, because they think she is a boy (and she doesn´t mind this very much)
- She gets sexually harassed by the ship doctor (and she actually enjoys being touched by him)
... Urhg.
Main character no. 2 - Jakob (20 years old) gets introduced into the art of lovemaking by an older, married woman. And the author goes into details.
... and I am bored.
This happens on the very first 73 pages. I don´t know much else about the characters than this sex stuff and quite frankly, I´m so not interested about anything in this book, especially not the characters.
Next!
