A lot of wholesome bounty comes from the fenland soil - and from the unusual ground of this book comes a rich, dark and memorable mystery. It's not perfect as a collection or a novel but sitting intriguingly somewhere in between, your crop is a strange fruit indeed.
This part of the country can raise unusual fictions - see [[Fen Runners by John Gordon]] too, even if it is dressed as a young reader fantasy. For more short stories with a connection, in a different wide open space, we enjoyed [[The Man in the Shed by Lloyd Jones]]. You might also like to try [[Even the Dogs by Jon McGregor]].
