Human Croquet
by Kate Atkinson
dark
mysterious
medium-paced
Kate Atkinson is a very fine writer. She is often under-rated by readers because she is also highly popular – a perverse and typically English judgment of a typically English writer.
Human Croquet is one her best novels – it is complex and multi-layered jumping backwards and forwards in time over many centuries. It is also, like many of Atkinson’s work very funny and closely observed. It is a dark, murderous literary tale, redolent of those disturbing children’s stories many of us were brought up with.
