Description
Treacle Walker is a moving and remarkable novel about a young boy's mysterious friendship with a rag-and-bone man. Living alone in an old house, the boy's life is transformed when the stranger appears, exchanging a jar of medicine and a stone for a pair of pyjamas and a lamb's shoulder blade. This extraordinary story combines myth, magic, and the stories we make for ourselves, showcasing the author's mastery of craft and deep feeling. The novel is a spare and allusive tale, luminous and understated, with a cryptic yet evocative quality. It is a story that will resonate with readers, one that explores the power of friendship and the stories we tell ourselves. With its unique blend of myth and magic, Treacle Walker is a novel that will stay with you long after you finish reading it. Published in 2022, this is a new novel from one of our greatest living writers, Alan Garner.
