Time's Arrow by Martin Amis

Recommended by Sarah when we were talking about Martin Amis. A remarkable piece of fiction linked to some truth. Very clever writing by Martin Amis (who has a reputation of being too clever - perhaps pretentious) but with a horrific story line that emerges as you read more.

So, excellent novel but not for everybody - certainly not for Mum. Try London Fields instead if you want to taste Martin Amis's clever (prententious) style. Any other Matin Amis novels recommended?

9/10
