Journal Entry 1 by wingNu-Kneeswing from Knaresborough, North Yorkshire United Kingdom on Tuesday, December 17, 2019
I bought this from a local charity shop this afternoon, delighted to find it because I'd recently added it to my Wish List, having read and been really impressed with SP's two subsequent novels, The Essex Serpent and Melmoth, yet hadn't caught up with this debut novel from 2014.

From Google Overview: "One hot summer’s day, John Cole decides to shut his bookshop early, and possibly forever, and drives out of London to see his brother. When his car breaks down on an isolated road, he goes looking for help and finds a dilapidated house. As he approaches, a laughing woman he’s never seen before walks out, addresses him by name and explains she’s been waiting for him. Entering the home, John discovers an enigmatic clan of residents all of whom seem to know who he is, and also claim they have been awaiting him arrival. They seem to be waiting for something else, too—something final..."

Well, it's very different from The Essex Serpent and Melmoth, that's for sure, so very different that if I'd read this one first, I doubt I'd have tried the others - and then I'd have missed a treat . . . On the other hand, I wouldn't have minded giving this one a miss . . . . To be perfectly honest, I don't think I really understood it . . . . Let's just say that it's rather strange, with some very strange characters in a strange situation, and leave it at that . . . .

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

This is one of the books I'm taking to the lunchtime gathering of local BookCrossers in Leeds today. If nobody takes it home, it'll be left on the bookshelves in the cafe to find a new reader . . .

Nearly two million people around the world give their books a unique BookCrossing IDentity number (BCID) before sending them out to find new readers. Since the start of the scheme in April 2001 over thirteen million such books have been put into circulation. This is one of them!

Our hope is that we can track the progress of our books once they've left our hands - and that's possible if finders like you visit the website, key in the BCID and leave a comment, however long or short. It's fun, it doesn't have to cost anything, although the site always appreciates donations towards running costs, and you can remain anonymous if you wish. You don't have to join but if you do you'll be able to number and track your own books!
