This is the story of Russian Geometer in the UK working in the bogland in the 50s. Although this novel is short, it was very dense and packed with lots of information. There is a lot of technical descriptions as well as depictions of nature. These are not usually my taste, but I liked the undercurrent of this man on the run from his past. There is definitely an emotional depth that brims throughout the tale. I give this one a 4/5.
