this comprehensive review:
"It's a
ripping good drama" - I've just put this
book down and I'm tempted to re-read it. It's
knee deep in interesting characters and the
story-line is totally unique - there's
absolutely no recycled content. It's about this
guy, David Jenner, who's a bit of a grey man and
who's spent most of his life living a very
average, non progressive life. He lives by
himself in the West London semi once owned by
his folks. Then one day he gets some serious bad
news, and while he's figuring his life out, he
unearths a poignant association with his life at
13 years old in 1958. It inspires David to
search through time and try and reconnect with
the romantic moment that made his teenage heart
ache so many years ago. I can't say much more as
it will spoil the story for you. Sufficient to
say he goes on a very strange and enigmatic
journey physically and spiritually. It's a
really slick, well written tale with no padding
or silly sub-plots, and there's an extremely
enigmatic twist to the story that keeps you
guessing. Unlike so many novels, this story
concludes on the last page and I got a bit of a
lump in my throat, but I was smiling. This
author has a very readable stylistic, and the
pace and economy of words, and snappy delivery
of the storyline really kept me glued to the
book. |
