A review by bookquine
Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield

4.0

I did enjoy this book, but I'm really glad that I read the author's notes at the end when I'd finished as I had spent most of the book unsettled by the suggestion that William's life was blighted by a single act as a 10 year old boy. Perhaps I missed the clues, but clearly I could have used more signposting to the underlying thread of why William behaved as he did. That said, I would still recommend this book, and I found all of the little rook facts fascinating.
