abominabledrh reviewed Villager by Tom Cox
Review of 'Villager' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This is really rather special. The tale of a moor, and how it's affected by the people around it, tales of people living near a moor over generations, and the story of an album and how it echoes through years?
"Villager" is all of these and more. It's a remarkable dance through time, a series of stories focused around the village of Underhill, it's inhabitants, and a lost cult folk album.
I can't recommend this highly enough. There's nothing else quite it like around, although there are notes of Alan Garner. Thoroughly readable and immersive. Quite excellent.
