Manchmal kommt ein hochgelobtes Buch einfach nicht an. So ging es unserem Rezensenten mit #TreacleWalker von #AlanGarner :
Fantasyguide: Treacle Walker – Der Wanderheiler (Autor: Alan Garner)

On reflection, I found the SH a mite depressing (though I do like the writing and stand in awe of Tartt's ability to build tension). I feel a need for Something Completely Different.

Hit me with your recs. Does anyone have a favourite pick-me-up read?

I need something mysterious / thrilling but somehow hopeful, not cynical. Weird or sci-fi themes much appreciated. For comparison, I've enjoyed:

Whoa! A fever-dream of a story and I’d swear some kind of magicypokery hooked me in and whooshed me (happily) all the way to the end. Wild! Are all Alan Garner books like this? There’s something FlannO’Brien-esque about this one! #TreacleWalker (#NotKidLit) #bookstodon
