I picked up this novel from a car boot sale this summer - working on my new method of choosing anything that had been nominated for a prize or selected for a reading group, this fitted the bill.
I absolutely loved it - it is definitely a keeper. It is the kind of story that I love. A story about an outsider (an outcast). It shows how the young man got to be outside his life, outside his family and friends by the tragedy of his mother drowning. I just couldn't put this book down. I will read it again (probably soon) and if she produces another book will look out for it. It really stirred up some emotions in me, the whole loosing his mother, his father remarrying and how he felt about it.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone. (well nearly anyone).
