41 minutes and 53 seconds left of the very impressive audiobook* I've been listening to for the last week - but when that's done I'll start on the book I just found in the mailbox. The Guardian review ended thus:

"This is a brave and original book, which invents its own form. It is both intimate and epic, playful and serious. To read it is to travel to the limits of what the novel can do."

I'm very much looking forward to it.

Closeup of the cover of Northern Woods by Daniel Mason. There's also a blurb on the cover, by Maggie O'Farrell that reads: 'A monumental achievement ... I loved it'. The cover illustration is a painting or drawing of a long girl in an old-fashioned orange dress. In her right hand she holds an apple, with stem and leaves attached. In her left hand she loosely holdd similar leaves. The dress and the girls's bare lower arms (plus apple) take up most of the page. Only the lower half of the girl's face is in the frame, and even the bottom of the dress is out of the frame. Of the girl's face only the mouth and the lower part of her nose and ears are visible.
