“An adventure and a detective novel rolled into one.
Set in the Middle East and feature two main characters, one Israeli and the other Palestinian.
Sussman does a good job of illustrating the horrors inflicted in both directions. Shame his editor didn’t suggest cutting this down by a 100 pages, it would be better for it.

“I listened to this delightful audiobook and loved it.
Full of mystery, myths and music. Ireland and presumably the world is split in two, our world and fairy world. Time is being lost from our world and added to fairy world, this needs fixing. The author won The Whitbread for this. Each chapter begins with some Irish music which she and her band play, lovely.
