Horatio Clare

And from Horatio Clare:

This is the book we have been waiting for from Tom Bullough, a complete work of art, astonishingly beautiful, deeply moving and gripping from first to last. Addlands appears to be a tale of the Welsh borders, told through the battles, loves and losses of its Heathcliff hero, Oliver, but it is much more – the story of how the land made us all, and how the last century has changed us. Zola would have saluted it, and pressed copies on his friends.

Which is very very civil of him.
