“The best least-known novel of the twentieth century” says Ali Smith
I think she’s right! Hadn’t heard of it, now can’t stop recommending it. O Caledonia by #ElspethBarker is pretty much perfect. “A surreal, hilarious and dark story of a troubled adolescence deep in the wilds of Scotland” - Maggie O’Farrell

I'll meet you in 2023. I'm starting my first book of the new year, tucked in to read before midnight strikes in the Chicago area.
Peace and cheers. x
