I have always found the author’s humour, characters and turns of phrase to be wonderful, but did doubt that it could be translated well into a novel. I was very happy to be wrong! It’s a pacey, page-turner of a book with humble, rounded characters you really root for. This humour is natural and not forced, it really is a superb read and I can’t recommend enough. One warning is that you find yourself tempted to chat to squirrels, but it’s a chance worth taking.
