Özet

There exists in all of us a song waiting to be sung which is as heart-stopping and vertiginous as the peak of the cathedral. That is the meaning of this quiet city, where the spire soars into the blue, where rivers and stories weave into one another, where lives intertwine.

One quiet evening in Salisbury, the peace is shattered by a serious car crash. At that moment, five lives collide - a flower seller, a schoolboy, an army wife, a security guard, a widower - all facing their own personal disasters. As one of those lives hangs in the balance, the stories of all five unwind, drawn together by connection and coincidence into a web of love, grief, disenchantment and hope that perfectly represents the joys and tragedies of small-town life.

There are sections of this book which evidence the author's remarkable insight into people's feelings and fears in a poetic and beautiful way. I found myself rewinding some paragraphs to hear them again because Barney Norris's prose was astute and delightful. I wish I had Barney Norris's ability, thoughtfulness, insight into the human psyche... but I don't. Luckily, authors like Norris are there to express them for me.
The story is really interesting; seen from the different perspectives of five very different characters.
I note from another review that they did not appreciate the swearing. I don't feel that it was utilised gratuitously and was appropriate for that character to say. Perhaps I've had a less sheltered upbringing and see/ hear real life every day.
Barney Norris, you are a great writer. Keep writing!!! :)

I really enjoyed this book!

Norris writes beautifully, lyrically and voices with equal comfort the thoughts of teenager, old farmer and troubled woman and lonely wife. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys exploring the interior lives and thoughts of a set characters whose lives intersect in a compelling narrative

Sensitive and thought-provoking

Very touching, inducing to soul searching. I feel like reading it again immediately, I probably will. I found myself reflected in so many similar situations and characters.

It certainly touched me, maybe because of my own personal moment.
