Changes

I first encountered Walthew when I read [[A Place In My Country: In Search Of A Rural Dream by Ian Walthew|A Place In My Country: In Search Of A Rural Dream]], an enlightening and honest look at the British countryside. I was intrigued to see how he approached fiction and not disappointed by what I found. The tightness of the plotting, the grip on the reader and the writing which holds you in a vice-like grip put me in mind of [[:Category:David Vann|David Vann]] and particularly his [[Legend of a Suicide by David Vann|Legend of a Suicide]] when I read the final pages of ''The Complex Chemistry of Loss''. You might also appreciate [[In the Name of Love by Patrick Smith]].
