The Uncommon reader by Alan Bennett
Ah, Mr Bennett, you of wuffly National Treasure delightfulness!
Having recently dipped my diseased toe into the post war trauma of 1918 it was high time I found some joy.
And such joy it was, stolen, witty, approachable yet deadly.
Using that most recognisable yet unknown of central characters , a devilish plot within which reading is a vice and a host of good supporting characters Bennett crafts a tale which is a pocket sized gem with a sting in the tail, a twist so unthought of, yet so logical.
Wonderful stuff, Thank you Mr Bennett.
