Title: One of my favorite Hornblowers!
Review: In my project of reading the HH books chronologically (according to Hornblower's age), I confess I bogged down in BEAT TO QUARTERS because it was too much Lady Barbara Lady Barbara Lady Barbara and Hornblower ragging (mentally) on poor, fat, blowsy, adoring wife Maria. Ugh. Thankfully, after a long hiatus, I picked up again with FLYING COLOURS. What a wonderful book! One of my favorite in the series, it chronicles Hornblower's adventures after losing the Sutherland and having to escape from France, where he is slated for execution. (And if you were one of those who enjoyed HH mooning after Lady Barbara and dissing his wife, there's more of that in this book. Whatever. I'm over it.)Love this series. On to the next!
