The New Policeman by Kate Thompson
4.0
I think I acquired this book because I believed it was about time travel, but that’s not an entirely correct way to describe the book. What The New Policeman is, more than anything, is a deep love story for traditional Irish music. And that? That is my jam.
I’m not a musician, but I was a competitive Irish step-dancer for just shy of a decade. Even now, over a decade since I last danced, Irish (Gaelic, for the sake of being inclusive of Scotland) music still pulls at me. It’s impossible for me to stay still when I listen to it, and this book spoke so eloquently to that deep-seeded part of my soul.
