I've had the paperback of this for some time, but always seemed to pick it up and never read more than a chapter at a time as for some reason it just didn't grab my full attention. BUT then I started to listen to the audio version and the whole world just came alive and it transfixed me from start to finish!
It tells the story of a community who are dealing with a missing child. This is no ordinary community - full of quirky, and often foul mouthed, characters who we then get to see glimpses of their stories as the months go by. It is one of those books that is very different from anything else I've read in the way it captures the behaviour of humans - it made me laugh out loud and it made me cry!
It is also extremely cleverly crafted with each chapter and an astonishing twist that left me gasping with shock as I didn't see it coming! Excellent stuff!!
