From the author of the Booker Prize-shortlisted Treacle Walker and the Carnegie Medal and Guardian Children's Fiction Prize-winning classic, The Owl ServiceA disturbing exploration of the inevitability of life.Under Orion's stars, bluesilver visions torment Tom, Macey and Thomas as they struggle with age-old forces. Distanced from each other in time, and isolated from those they live among, they are yet inextricably bound together by the sacred power of the moon's axe and each seek their own refuge at Mow Cop.Can those they love so intensely keep them clinging to reality? Or is the future evermore destined to reflect the past?

Next up, Alan Garner's Red Shift: a time-slipping tale of generational trauma set in his native Cheshire, from the present day (as it was in 1973), to the English Civil War period, to Roman-occupied Britain.
Garner's love of astronomy is embedded in the title, and the opening dialogue about the relativistic motions of the planet, solar system, galaxy and local galactic cluster sets the scene for the permeability of space-time 🌌

What was awaiting me from Blackwell‘s when I got home 😊 Read Red Shift when it was published in 1973: this copy‘s for a grandson (but I‘ll reread it first). And looking forward to A Life of Adventure....
