An odd sort of book, not what I expected from the blurb. The protagonist, Jack, spends his summer between trying to solve riddle, and sleeping with the women in the house he‘s staying at. His attitude to sex brought to mind Henry Miller‘s Tropic novels.

It‘s set in Cley, where I‘m getting married 13 weeks today, which makes it #APlaceYouLove #FictionalTraveller @julieclair

TheEllieMo I‘ve also found out, after finishing it, that the author was the son of actor Rex Harrison (of My Fair Lady and Doctor Doolittle, amongst many other roles), and died at the age of 80 in January of this year. 2w

The synopsis of the tagged book isn‘t peaceful, but the location itself, Cley, on the North Norfolk coast, had a wonderful sense of #Peace about it when we visited on a foggy afternoon last weekend.
