The Hired Man by Aminatta FornaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Look at charming hunting scene on the cover. Read the first few chapters of a hired man in Croatia helping a woman and her children restore a house in a small village by the sea. Then get hit with a growing intensity as a mystery unfolds and you discover the hidden lives of the charming villagers. The tension grows like a bowstring being pulled so slowly you worry it might break before its finally released into the bullseye. Very satisfying.

Time and rats had got to most of the stuff.
In the blue hour things happen.
I did it to spite Kresimir, he retained a grip on my imagination and in that way I'd become his creation.
The next day I told my father he was wrong: the past is never passed.
