“Of all the books I’ve read recently this is the one I’m keenest to hear what other people think of it.
Longlisted for the 2012 Booker longlist…hope it makes it to the short list
A short 200 page debut novel by a tiny independent pubublish (Salt… well done to you guys by the way), Alison Moore has delivered a very readable but somewhat complex story of a middle aged man who goes away and walks and thinks, do I like him, am I supposed to? Is he a wimp or is he a loner?
I finished this with more questions… it will make an excellent readers group book.
Score 7.5/10
Date read August 2012
