Jamrach's Menagerie, Carol Birch

From the Booker Prize Shortlist 2011. Read on the kindle.

Not having read the blurb I wasn't expecting such a visceral novel of shipwreck and cannibalism.

A book of two halves, before and after Jaffy goes to sea, very poetic.

Made me want to seek out more things she has written.
