Being from a town not far from that river, I know Cricklade, Lechlade, and Oxford. It is a strange place full of strange people. This put me in mind of the Buried Giant by Kazuo Ishiguro, Philip Pullman‘s La Belle Sauvage, Jerusalem by Jez Butterworth, English Settlement by XTC, the books of Angela Carter and the work of PJ Harvey. Tall ish gothic tales told in pubs up and down the Thames, about life and death, animals and the river.
