Have you come across a piece of creative writing (probably a novel) that you think others may enjoy? Please share the ideas here in an ongoing thread designed to welcome contributions over time, as the inclination suggests. The idea is that this will be based on current reading rather than “my favourite novels” – my feeling was part of the interest would be in prompting a discussion about what different people are reading at the moment.

The criterion for entry is a recommendation of some piece of creative writing encountered that (in the view of the entrant) is particularly enjoyable, technically unusual or otherwise commanding of more than usual respect and notice.

Please include
1 Full title, author & publisher info
2 A brief reason why it moves or interests you
3 A brief sample of the style of writing
4 Web links if available or appropriate (but don’t make a chore for yourself!)

I would also suggest we cut to a side bar with the novel’s title for discussions on particular topics that may arise, rather than let them carve their meandering passages through these hills. We can cross-refer to keep easier track, whilst still keeping this thread of more potential interest to newcomers, if that makes sense to folks.
