The Hundred and Ninety-Nine Steps
by Michel Faber
I didn't realise how short this book was when I bought it. (It was only £1 in a Kindle sale though so I don't feel too shortchanged!) The print copy is only just over 100 pages I think, and I flew through this in a fraction of a lazy afternoon.
I bought it because I know the setting, the steps up to the abbey at Whitby, well and it sounded intriguing. It's short but perfectly formed and I wouldn't have minded spending a lot longer with the characters, but this worked nicely. I'll look out for more by the author.
