Hi All
I am always on the lookout for new authors and have encountered the above....Sorrow's Requiem, by Alan Nash.
Alan Nash, from Birmingham, England, has (as I understand it) been able to realise his dream of becoming a novelist following the unfortunate passing of his Uncle. This has lead to me reading, without question, the best book that I have read in years.
What I would class as a thriller, with a central ongoing love story, I felt it impossible to not feel for every single character....which I haven't been able to do with many authors, even the huge ones. The central character, Ben, goes through an enormous and heart-wrenching series of events, which Alan Nash captures in a sublime manner, following the change in his personality in such detail that you cannot avoid wanting to glue this book to your hand until it is finished.
I cannot recommend this book more....it is truly remarkable.
