This book was fine. Both the writing and paced of plot was okay but I found this book bit dull. The atmosphere was okay and ending was fine also the cover of book was stunning. The characters were okay but they were bit bland and needed be to be flash out bit more

This is an impressive novel, both of ideas and generational arcs. Superbly written and masterfully conceived. Laced with interesting historical insights as well as touching and sincere human moments as we are caught up in the unrelenting currents of time.

Sometimes I walked with Peter Reece as he went about his business in the parish. He would go about on foot: he had a theory that people should normally go about on foot; then there might be time for things to sort themselves out.
I said ‘You believe things do sort themselves out? I mean you do what you have to do, and other people do what they do; and what happens is likely to be all right?’
Peter Reece said ‘What else is God?’
I Said ‘You mean “God” is a word for the fact that things sort themselves out, and not for the fact that there is a God.’
Peter Reece said ‘What is the difference?’
