Review:
Book Description:
'Like the sea he describes so well, Patrick Gale's clear, unforced prose sucks one in effortlessly ... he is excellent at the telling detail and description.' Elizabeth Buchan, Daily Mail
'There are no false notes in this book.' Marie Claire
'”Rough Music” ... is an astute, sensitive and at times tragically uncomfortable meditation on sex, lies and family.... a fabulously unnerving book... a hugely compelling writer.' Independent on Sunday
'It would be churlish to divulge more of the plot, suffice to say that it is as ingenious in design as it is generous in spirit.' Sunday Express
‘Patrick Gale's novels grip tightly, like swaddling clothes, stunning the reader into a state of lolling, contented absorption. How does he do it?' TLS
'”Rough Music”, like its predecessors, belongs to a broad canon of works by English rural moralists. Think Austen, Hardy or Murdoch ... His plots – seemingly effortless, but closely structured – resemble Iris Murdoch's ... Gripping, elegant and wise.' Independent
'Sparkling with emotional intelligence. A gripping portrait of a marriage and quiet, devastating fall-out of family life' Independent

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A subtle and entertaining tragicomic love story. Julian as a small boy is taken on the perfect Cornish holiday. When glamorous American cousins unexpectedly swell the party, however, emotions run high and events spiral out of control. Though he has been brought up in the forbidding shadow of the prison his father runs, though his parents are neither as normal nor as happy as he supposes, Julians world view is the sunnily selfish, accepting one of boyhood. It is only when he becomes a man seemingly at ease with love, with his sexuality, with his ghosts that the traumatic effects of that distant summer rise up to challenge his defiant assertion that he is happy and always has been. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR000951908
