DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Page family purchased a new speedboat and motor which they intended to use on pleasure outings on the bay. Little did they know but this was a boat with magical properties. The boat was able to talk and listen but only with Jake who, after initial amazement, named the boat "Merlin" after the famous magician. This story describes the first trip the family undertook on Merlin and how the boat was able to give Jake information to help his father to manage the first trip successfully. The problem was that none of the family, other than Jake, could hear the boat talking so they were understandably amazed at the boy's knowledge of the boat and its operation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • “A darkly incantatory tragicomedy of love and betrayal ... Beautifully paced, emotionally wise.” —The Boston Globe In the dark waiting room of the ferry terminal in the sketchy Spanish port of Algeciras, two aging Irishmen—Maurice Hearne and Charlie Redmond, longtime partners in the lucrative and dangerous enterprise of smuggling drugs—sit at night, none too patiently. The pair are trying to locate Maurice’s estranged daughter, Dilly, whom they’ve heard is either arriving on a boat coming from Tangier or departing on one heading there. This nocturnal vigil will initiate an extraordinary journey back in time to excavate their shared history of violence, romance, mutual betrayals, and serial exiles. Rendered with the dark humor and the hardboiled Hibernian lyricism that have made Kevin Barry one of the most striking and admired fiction writers at work today, Night Boat to Tangier is a superbly melancholic melody of a novel, full of beautiful phrases and terrible men.
