Behold: one of the finest books of the year' Independent 'McGuire delivers one bravura set-piece after another . . . The North Water has, in places, a ConradMelville undercurrent, but for the most part it is Dickenss influence that is most keenly felt . . . This is a stunning novel, one that snares the reader from the outset and keeps the tightest grip until its bitter end' Financial Times on The North Water 'Horrifically gripping. Such fine writing might have been lifted from the pages of Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick Independent on Sunday on The North Water 'Terrific, seamed with pitch black humour and possessed of a momentum that's kept up to the final, unexpected but resoundingly satisfying scene .
