casparb 's review for:

On the Black Hill by Bruce Chatwin

really very bleak and delightful and excellently spare PAStORAL , I think the Sunset Song people will like this one. It's lovely to see Wales this way & I've not read enough

the cascade of the last 50 pages, is rly something else. the last line is one of my new favourite last lines in literature, I think because it's so delicately & mightily predicated on everything that came before
