3.0 out of 5 stars Smouldering rather than on fire, 23 Jul 2006
By lmhh (UK) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: The Wildfire Season (Paperback)
If you are looking for a page turner, this novel isn't for you. If however you are looking for a novel which is primarily a sympathetic portrait of a man trying to come to terms with a past trauma, but which also encompasses a couple of interesting action-driven sub plots, you will enjoy it.

Set against the backdrop of small isolated town where everyone knows everyones business and there is nowhere to hide the story develops the main characters beautifully. The descriptions of fires and of the people and creatures which inhabit the woods around the town are skilfully and imaginatively written and bring scenes to life in a dramatic way - contrasting well with the hero's internal dialogues.

An enjoyable read
