thompsonsimon 's review for:

Rotherweird by Andrew Caldecott
3.0

I enjoyed this book, and particularly the creation of the backwards-yet-forwards town of Rotherweird in contemporary Britain. But with a large cast of characters, each with curious names, and whose perspectives switch from paragraph to paragraph, I also found it a struggle.

Perhaps it is too clever and deliberately cryptic, but I liked the people and the vision even if I could quibble with the implementation. I will come back to it at some point to see if it makes enough sense.
