Five Rivers Met On A Wooded Plane is brilliant – I hope you enjoy that one.
My brother in law was reading whilst we were away, but not sure how he is getting on with it though
The Mask of Dimitrios is really fun summer reading, and Orbital is a stunner. Good selection!
That is good to know. I liked, but didn’t love Orbital
