Format:Paperback
I read The Quickening Maze and was enthralled by the characters and the beauty of Foulds' prose, so when I discovered he had also written a novel in narrative poem form I bought it straight away, and read it in one sitting.The narrative itself - an 18 year old boy's transition to manhood during the Mau Mau rebellion in 1950s Kenya - is chilling. The poetry is startling in its sharpness and the images which often surprise, always draw you in.I'll be pre-ordering Adam Foulds' next book.
Listmania!
