⭐️⭐️⭐️
Man goes on road trip to escape very ordinary marriage and tries to find himself, but there is not a lot there. Another uninspiring Booker long list read. But not the worse.

The story of one man’s life, rags to riches attained in a quite detached and passive way. Plot has holes. But somehow it draws you in and becomes engrossing. Weirdly enjoyable.

1960s West Country captured perfectly. Snow, marriage, class and pregnancy. Good story and enjoyable read.

Set in Japan, USA & Korea, a massively ambitious saga that tells the tale of a family but also manages to cover some bigger issues. An old fashioned novel (in a good way)
This is the ninth of the Booker long list I have read and the best so far.

Sadly, requires a log in. Is there a link for outside academia?
