I adore his books. They are such a tonic. Such a joy to read. It is such a pleasure getting to know his characters page by page, chapter by chapter. Consuming them hungrily, whilst also mourning the fastly disappearing pages.
In this, his sixth novel, and I believe his best yet, we join a group of walkers on the journey of a lifetime. Mutual friend Cleo has the idea to plan a walking weekend ... View Full Review
