The North Water by Ian McGuire Book Summary

Now an AMC+ original miniseries event starring Colin Farrell and Jack O'Connell! A nineteenth-century whaling ship sets sail for the Arctic with a killer aboard in this dark, sharp, and highly original tale that grips like a thriller

One of The New York Times Book Review's 10 Best Books of the Year, and named a Best Book of the Year by The Chicago Tribune, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, The New Statesman, Publishers Weekly, and The Chicago Public Library

Behold the man: stinking, drunk, and brutal. Henry Drax is a harpooner on the Volunteer, a Yorkshire whaler bound for the rich hunting waters of the arctic circle. Also aboard for the first time is Patrick Sumner, an ex-army surgeon with a shattered reputation, no money, and no better option than to sail as the ship's medic on this violent, filthy, and ill-fated voyage.

In India, during the Siege of Delhi, Sumner thought he had experienced the depths to which man can stoop. He had hoped to find temporary respite on the Volunteer, but rest proves impossible with Drax on board. The discovery of something evil in the hold rouses Sumner to action. And as the confrontation between the two men plays out amid the freezing darkness of an arctic winter, the fateful question arises: who will survive until spring?

With savage, unstoppable momentum and the blackest wit, Ian McGuire's The North Water weaves a superlative story of humanity under the most extreme conditions.

Recipe for Success!. A salty mixture of John Grisham patter, buggery, decapitation, and serial murder; garnish with a dab of Eskimo sex; serve in a goblet of literary pretension. Voila!

Very realistic and hard to put down. Seems as though it could be a true story with very colorful characters with a good plot that all comes together toward the end.

Patrick Sumner.. Patrick Sumner joins a long list of literary characters that will be forever etched into my memory. The casting of Jack O Connell in the mini series was pure genius. Mc Guire evokes Dickens and Melville in his writing style, transporting the reader to another time. And the bear....😢

"Great Evil is the Absence of Good.". The depravity, ineptitude, addiction, corruption, greed, and "evil for evil's sake" displayed by the actors in this novel seem a perfect caricature of culture in the post-truth world. When values collapse and everyone has their hands dirty, who can save us from ourselves? Nobody. Nobody at all. We are reduced to animals in a world where pessimistic determinism and social Darwinism rule. A great story for anyone interested in post-Naturalistic prophesy.

The North Water. I loved this book from beginning to end it had me. Could not put it down. Action packed and full of surprise

Intense and vivid. Gets better with every turn of each page. Goes deep showing how very foul men can be. Great story

Beautifully gruesome. The author carefully weaves a story with exquisite wording presenting 18th century whaling life in undiluted brutality. When the subject matter turned my stomach the author’s skill kept me reading.
