Reserved for a Multiple Sclerosis Charity Book Sale in Colchester in the autumn. So it won’t be free but you’ll find it at a bargain price :-)

By coincidence I read Canal Dreams last year so it's familiar enough to give it a score! I've read all Banks's fiction work tho I'm not a fan of his Sci-Fi - penned under the name of Iain M Banks. But IMO this is one of his least entertaining/ gripping books.

This didn't sell at the MS sale so Pakasanelly brought it to the Chelmsford bookcrossers' meet (14/11) where I picked it up. Thanks Pakasanelly - I've read 2 or 3 Iain Banks books so this appeals to me.

It's taken me a while to get to this.

I enjoyed the tale even though the situation is rather 'odd'. That's Iain Banks for you.

A few cargo ships and tankers trapped on a lake on the Panama Canal during a 'coup' onland. A world-famous cellist happens to be travelling on one of the ships. They have their own little community until the 'coup' comes to them.

Left inside the british waterways facilities building by the canal. With the other shared books on the windowsill.
