The opening is wonderful. “His moustache was thicker than ever, so stiff a fly could have strolled out to the end, like a prisoner walking the plank on a pirate ship. Except that flies can’t survive in a ...

  autumn twilight — Authority: 112

  Farm Lane Books Blog Farm Lane Books Blog — Authority: 126
  Translated from the Persian by D.P. Costello I was sorting through my bookshop stock when that beautiful picture of an owl caught my attention. I decided that I had to read it when I saw that it was also described as: a deeply haunting and disturbing gem of world literature. At only 108 pages it was a very ...
