A Country of Eternal Light by Paul Dalgarno

 This was a strange, meandering sort of book. Maggie is dead, but she is searching her soul, going back through her life. We see Maggie at various stages of her life. She watches herself as a young telephonist in Scotland,  finding romance, a married woman with children and visiting her daughter in Australia. She ponders about all sorts of philosophical and historical information as well, such as Mary, Queen of Scots. It's an extremely unusual book which makes you think about our travels through our lives, and what we are doing here. Although written in an ethereal style, Maggie comes from the working-class, so it can be gritty at times.

I recommend this to readers who like unusual novels. I liked Paul Dalgarno's writing, so I'd like to read more of his books.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
