Mayflies

Wonderful

Beautiful, beautiful book. Highly recommend.

It's marvellously written, the characters are fantastic, but I really can't cope with the rambling between friends. I get why it's there and it served its purpose, don't get me wrong, but it took a lot of wading through.

The first half of Mayflies set in the 80s is vibrant, funny, and exciting as a bunch of friends go to Manchester for a weekend to attend a concert. The second half of the novel set in the present day is extremely moving and thought provoking. It is well written throughout and is highly recommended.
