The main character meets up with a strange old man who collects and buries 'all the little animals' who have been run over by cars on the English country lanes. This is a touching, believable and very insightful work. A truly remarkable first novel that is at times shocking, dark and even humourous, will satisfy readers who love to explore literature."

Wow, I like the sound of this one.
