The Steep Approach to Garbadale by Iain Banks
5.0
Another great story by Banks. This covers the protagonists way to a family party just weeks away, and flashes back to explain how he got her.
There are 2 of Banks' trademarks here, a twist that's more horrifying than surprising, and a majority of minor characters being fleshed out enough to feel real, even if they only feature in 20 pages, like pen sketches by a skilled artist.
This story will put some people off, but if you enjoy Banks' split timeline, flashback heavy stories you should love this.
