I'm going to read his book, "Wish Her Safe at Home" love the title.
"It is a gripping and haunting story about a middle-aged, genteel woman called Rachel Waring who inherits a Georgian house in Bristol and slowly goes mad."
It's being republished by the New York Review of Books in its Modern Classics series. A British edition is being published.
First published in 1982 by Bodley Head. Wonderful reviews, prizes, poor sales.
He got the New York Review of Books' managing editor, Edwin Franks to read it by bumping into him with a wine trolley at his self-organised and self-published relaunch of "Wish Her Safe at Home."
And the heroine of the book, Rachel Waring says at one point in the novel
"Wouldn't it be fine if we all had second chances?"
