The next stop on the Golden Circle route is one of the largest, most powerful waterfalls you will see on your trip – Gullfoss. I'm just sad I've finished it (I bought it when it was first published but put off reading it because I knew I'd be bereft once it was done).

Crop circles are the thing that tie Calvert and Redbone together and the sweltering southern England summer of 1989 is the backdrop of this narrative meander through vast and remote fields, giving substance to a purpose that doesn’t need words to express. Set in the summer of 1989 it follows 2 loners who have bonded over their secret project of creating crop circles on fields across south west England. Through palpable tension balanced with glimmers of hope, Hoover beautifully captures the heartbreak and joy of starting over.

I've not read Benjamin Myers before and found his quiet, ponderous prose lovely and old-fashioned, the way novels used to be before hitting plot beats became more important than story. They embody a counter-tradition: the pagan, anarchistic ruralism so vividly channelled in Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem, or David Rudkin’s Penda’s Fen, or by rogue art groups such as English Heretic and Folklore Tapes. Der perfekte Kreis“ von Benjamin Myers ist ein ganz ganz leises Buch, das sich mühelos in mein Herz verpflanzt hat. They are moving always toward what they know will be their end-of-summer culmination, the Honeycomb Double Helix.
