I found the beginning very slow and confusing but
then I was also intrigued and the story started to grow on me, it is only a
2-3 hour read and you will be rewarded with not only a well thought out tale but
well written with some great descriptions of a beautiful way of life.
Apparently Mary has been wronged by her powerful
husband Sherlock, cheated on and beaten until she decided to shove back. She
has been banished to a valley where, even at her late stage in life, she must
fend for herself and live off and with the land.
TL unwinds this relationship with Sherlock and its slow
demise like a tangled ball of knitting wool. In this ball are some huge knots in the shape
of rapid dogs, half dead visitors and some hysterical home renovation skills.
I found the ending most satisfying and whilst it
took me awhile to get into the story I really enjoyed the meander. I look
forward to reading more of Tim Lebbon.
