A book I found by chance, when a friend saw it on the shelf at a bookshop and passed it on to me. 'm glad she did, this is a really interesting book that starts as an account of two old friends' attempt to walk Offa's Dyke Path. I felt like I knew the sort of story it was going to be then, but suddenly another voice is added into the narrative and it becomes a lot stranger and a lot more interesting. It examines and challenges the conventions of masculinity and male friendship, pitting that within the directionless life of twentysomethings in the current economy, searching for meaning in a world that refuses to give them any. Sometimes the foreshadowing - we know something is going to happen, but it takes a while to come about - is a bit much and there's a bit of wheel-spinning (foot-dragging?) before we get there, but definitely interesting and worth reading.
