I discovered yesterday that Raynor has a new book out, Landlines. Have any of you read it yet?

Unfortunately, I will have to hold out until it is available on BorrowBox in audio form. I really hope that will not be too long, as I have found Raynor's previous books both deeply moving and inspiring.

Yes I actually bought it and read it, as did Mr B but I am sorry to say neither of us were impressed and felt we had read more interesting books.

I enjoyed the Salt Path (mostly) but this one has received less than good reviews. A friend read it last week and said she was really disappointed.

It’s a first Urms, we agree on something grin

What a shame.

I had wondered if a third book might be pushing it, though I will still at least start to read or listen to it if it becomes available on BorrowBox.

I enjoyed The Salt Path but didn’t like the follow up…so will give this one a miss.
