remember which is which.
I first read him during my first year in Spain when I didn't have a lot of books to read...I think it was The Return of the Native? It was one with someone hanging off a cliff at the end of a chapter...
I did not realise it was the Madding Crowd into just now though, and I know I've read that one. At any rate, I need to be in the right mood for a classic...
I also got a kick out of GH having a character named Tom Hardy, who I knew (both David Wallace and Matthew Ashford versions), and then finding out there was a writer named THOMAS Hardy...
The 7 and 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle - Easily one of the oddest books I've ever read. Summary: Evelyn Hardcastle is murdered at the end of a family dinner party. Every day, our protagonist wakes up in a different body, one of the partygoers, and is tasked with gathering clues to solve her murder. I'm quoting another author, Sarah Pinborough, who in her praise for the book said "If Agatha Christie and Terry Pratchett had ever had LSD-fueled sex, then <this book> would be the acid trip book baby". The author himself admitted his first draft read like a David Lynch movie. I had a really hard time keeping up with what was happening...a REALLY hard time. But in the end, it was an engaging murder mystery with a brilliant ending. A-.
I am not sure this book could live up to Pinborough's review, but I am intrigued...just saw on The Story Graph that there's an animal death though? :-/
