‘A brilliant new novel from Tim Parks that will widen his readership’ so says the publisher, I’d say it will narrow his readership by one…me.
This book was pants!
Set in the Italian Alps, a group of canoeist are taking some sort of canoe exam. The plot drifts along and the relationships are unbelievable. Don’t waste your time.

Score 3/10

Billed as the Da Vinci Code for people with brains…could only really end with disappointment, in fact I found this American novel ponderously slow and boring.
I gave up with just 70 pages to read.
Will they get to write another book, maybe but I doubt it would be published.
