Welcome to Litsy!

Nice read, three narrators who all live in one village. The ways of the countryside and how they each see and inhabit it.

Thank you so much, I can't wait to dive in 😺 The dust cover blurbs are terrifically intriguing!

The descriptions and observations of the natural landscape are beautiful and something I really love in a book. But I wasn‘t invested in the characters, they felt flat. Maybe it just wasn‘t the right time for me to read. I bailed just over 100 pages in. Sigh.

#ruralsetting #aprilbookshowers I've tried to capture images of 2 bks set in the countryside- the melissa harrison was beautifully written with a story of the tensions in rural society. The Ross Raisin was a brilliant picture of a damaged young man in a Yorkshire farm, dark but if you know the north yorks moors you will recognise areas.
Both really good reads + im instantly thinking of another one!

This book is fucking brilliant. Read it now.

Next read.

"As the sun rose slowly over Jack's head a hawthorn in the hedge behind him felt the light on its new green leaves and thought with its green mind about blossom."

It opens with a car accident. Then takes the reader back over one spring month through the events leading up to the crash. There is an unhappy middle-aged couple, a homeless wanderer, and a young guy trying to figure his life out. A quiet book that explores life in a rural English village

Currently reading this book set in a rural community over the course of one spring month. It opens with an accident: "two cars, spent and ravished, violence gathered about them in the silent air".
