What I confidently expected from Faith Mortimer's novel, The Crossing, was a competently, engagingly and intelligently written tale of trials and tribulations of crossing the Atlantic in a sailing boat. What I got was a competently, engagingly and intelligently written tale of trials and tribulations of coming of age - at any age.

This beautifully and sometimes touchingly told story of father and son takes them through some cataclysmic experiences on the way to coming to terms with themselves.
