Starve Acre - Andrew Michael Hurley
Disclaimer: I am not afraid to admit that I had to reach for the dictionary a couple of times during the progress of this book.
This is a tale, within a tale. A parallel, with several hundred years between them. The constant, Jack and the Hare.
The setting, is God's own country, Yorkshire, England.
The setting, is described and the tale told, in such a way that you are almost there with the characters. I suppose it also helped that I know the area a little.
Intertwined with almost a 50/50 split between the two and the interlinking that takes part, progressing together at a considerable rate.
The only drawback, the ending. Obscure.
Rating: 4.1/5.0
Status: Completed.
