BOOK MAIL ? This sounded really good, I love finding books I've never heard of! This synopsis pulled me in!
"Morvern Callar a low-paid employee in the local supermarket in a desolate and beautiful port town in the west of Scotland, wakes one morning in late December to find her strange boyfriend has committed suicide and is dead on the kitchen floor. Morvern's reaction is both intriguing and immoral. What she does next is even more appalling."?
'Heres you, twenty-one, a forty-hour week on slave wages for the rest of your life; even with a fortnight in a resort theres not much room for poetry there, eh?'
This is Morvern's story. She escapes the 40-hour week job, hides for the truth in a resort much longer than the planned fortnight, but there is still no room for poetry. She searches and tries but there is no escape. Not really. #1001books
A dark, twisted, wild ride across Scotland and The Continent. Makes me want to bust out glow sticks and go rave.
