Welcome to BookShook! This episode is all about the first half of April’s book, Treacle Walker by Alan Garner published in2021 (up to Chapter 10 (page 75) if you're reading alongside). The idea of the episode is that we’ll split a book into two equal halves — a book that I and perhaps you have never read. In the first episode, published on the second Friday of the month, we’ll discuss the first half. And then in the second episode (published on the last Friday of the month - 28th April), we’ll look at the second half of the book (in this case from Chapter 10 (page 75)). We’ll see together how the novel concludes and decide whether it’s a book we’d recommend to a friend - or not. Of course, you don’t have to read the book, you can listen to it, or just follow along without doing either since I’ll be summarising what happens (but be aware! - there will be spoilers). You can leave a comment or start a conversation at youtube.com/@BookShook or send an email to bookshook@yahoo.com. The book we’ll be reading for May is Light by M. John Harrison (320 pages) (so get that ready if you’re going to read alongside). Thanks for listening to BookShook! Roger
