Lead Review

• Book: Mr Rosenbulm’s List
• Location: Dorset
• Author: Natasha Solomons

‘In her charming debut, Natasha Solomons folds together Jewish baking, golf and Dorset folklore to create a singular comic confection… Solomons crafts a fine pastoral comedy from Jack’s eccentric endeavours to reshape the land and from his encounters with rustic labourers who seem to have absconded from the pages of a Hardy novel… Sadie provides a touching counterpoint to the comedy… Much of the delight in this novel stems from Solomons’ feeling for types of traditional knowledge that are on the verge of obsolescence.’
