"Duncton Rising" is written elegantly and with marvellous detail which creates a picture of an intense and vibrant society. It was never intended to be a children's book, despite the tagline put in by the publishers and it certainly contains adult material but that's because it's an adult book. Horwood is renowned for his powerful,descriptive passages and these include both pleasant and unpleasant images. He is not afraid to shake our perceptions and I always come away from his books invigorated and challenged.<br />Read and enjoy!Jackienoreply@blogger.com
