by Deborah Levy
I would not recommend Deborah Levy for the pulsating plot line. What I enjoy so much is her writing and the way a story is borne along on the language and beauty of the style.
This book is about Saul Adler who gets hit by a car on the iconic Abbey Road zebra crossing in 1988 and again seemingly in 2016. Once before the Iron curtain fell and once as Britain voted to leave the EU. But this is an unreliable narrator and we slip about in time and many things are not what they seem. What a man remembers is not always truth. I really enjoyed this book and cannot understand why it did not make the shortlist. 9/10
