So I really can't say anymore because I'm just going to give the whole thing away.
But but it was just fantastic.
Sometimes books have too many twists and turns, not in this case, because it just kept me going right to the end.
Yes, there's a reason for that.
It's set in a little cottage, a coastal farmhouse in Cornwall with no electricity in the modern day.
And that's because it's Jago's uncle's house, Jacob, and he's quite happy to live that way.
They do have a freezer in the shed where they keep food and that, but he's quite happy to live without electricity.
And most of the neighbours think he's pure mad, of course.
Now, Jago is living with his uncle.
He's in his 20s and he's living with his uncle because he has sustained a brain injury after a near death experience.
So he's having to relearn everything.
His struggles with his memory.
He has to when there's something he has to remember.
And there's a beautiful poignant scene of him walking home, saying over and over again what he has to tell his uncle and message a neighbour gave him.
I have to tell him this.
I have to tell him this.
But the simplicity of their life, it's beautifully described.
The nature and the scenery in this is just gorgeous.
And the simplicity of the life seems to help him.
And it's not surprising.
