Folk is a linked set of short stories set on Neverness, an island based on the Isle of Man.
It sets out to tell tales based on folk tales, and to make up new ones, over the course of a generation in a small island community.
I was fascinated by this premise, and some of the stories were really interesting, but overall I didn't connect with the book. Maybe it was just because the stories read together are too similar, but I also found all the characters quite dull and unlikeable.
I'm not sorry I read the book, but I'll definitely be looking for something with a similar premise, but more personality in the future.
