Lazy Sunday Service

There's a reason why it's always best to wait until the very end of the year to announce your best reads - in last few days you might read a cracker of a book.  And that's precisely what I've just done.  Michael Russell's The City of Shadows is a brilliant debut novel set in Dublin and Danzig in 1934/35 that scores highly on every level - plotting, sense of place, historical contextualisation, characterization.  A really great read.  I'll post a full review tomorrow.
