A beautiful novel: shifting between the present and past of a dying African man in England who has never revealed his pre-sailor origins to his wife and children; of his wife, a foundling; and of his young adult son and daughter. Explores knowing identity, family dynamics, aging, and race issues, although I thought little was made of the fact that his adult kids are racialized.
