I ordered this book from Awesome Books many years ago and I cannot remember why. Perhaps it was the meteorological angle as in The Go Between.
The book is set in Norfolk and most unusual (Sebald's Saturn's Rings would be another unusual Norfolk book). The author was influenced by Andrew Motion who I remember as Professor of Creative Writing at the University of East Anglia. There is much reference to that obscure Anglo Saxon Poem Wulf and Eadwacer a memory that was stirred by the first mention of Eadwacer. The book was enjoyable even if I did not always understand it and nothing happens, but things seem dark an ominous.
The main character is ageing and rather tired of life in a way that reminds us n Leo Colston from The Go-Between by L. P. Hartley, another great Norfolk novel.
