Another one of Gale's brilliant books.
This tells of a man who recounts his younger life whilst falling in love.
Super excited about going to hear Gale speak in a few weeks 😊😊😊
pickI loved this story of Eustace, an only child struggling at school who falls in love with cello playing, and follows his coming of age through the messy teenage years and increasingly complicated family life. Sad, gentle, hopeful; perfectly written and with a great cast of characters.
pickOh god this book. Properly broke me,left feeling all wibbly. Just some of the most heartbreaking beautiful evocative prose I've ever read. Gay,sad,happy and ultimately hopeful and really makes you want to go listen to cello music. One of the best literary fiction works I've ever read by someone not named Alan Hollinghurst.

Loved both of these ❤️
pickSomewhere between a pick and so-so.
Liked - the MC and most of the other main characters - except his Mum. The majority of the story - especially the twists - though sometimes the MC was very naive - where we all that naive at 14? The writing is lovely too.
Didn‘t like - sometimes the music bits didn‘t do anything for me - to the point of just being boring. BUT I don‘t play an instrument and it just felt like too much information...
