Lead Review
- Book: Rook
- Location: Sussex
- Author: Jane Rusbridge
Rook is an astonishingly vivid book; colours, textures, sounds, landscape, weather – a locality so precisely evoked that it rises up from the page as you read, and surrounds you with the fabric of the imagined lives which inhabit it. They are fascinating and compelling lives, and the plot delves into the layers of their past actions and secrets, delicately peeling them away … an utterly engrossing novel (The Tablet )
