I picked up the most recent Alan Banks novel in Asda last week at a bargain price, and devoured it in a couple of days.
I do like these Banks books, even thought they’re not especially demanding. Of course there’s been something of a backstory build-up towards this for a while (how far back I won’t know until I’ve read the earlier novels), with Banks’ childhood friend’s death playing on his mind.
The next book isn’t out in hardback until January, so there’s probably a year to go before I get to read it!
