    Very kind of you to name both of my books, Lindsay! I'm really glad you enjoyed them.

    Some interesting choices on the rest of the list too. I liked Island Songs as well, and can recommend a few of Wheatle's other books if you haven't read them. East of Acre Lane is my favourite, but I also enjoyed his latest one, Brenton Brown. I've been meaning to read The Road to Urbino for a while now, so I'll take your recommendation as my cue :-)
