Whirligig by Magnus Macintyre
Whirligig is a raucous, joyous, often poignant comedy about the redemptive power of the countryside. Written with peerless wit, it's a timely fable that takes its place within the tradition of the Great English Comic Novel. It's The Wicker Man as told by P.G. Wodehouse.
Whirligig has an impressively immersive sense of wry, often brilliantly dark involvementIts voice is strong and clear and fresh and rousing. Like a bagpipe.
Magnus Macintyre grew up in suburban Oxford and rural Argyll, and then read History at Jesus College, Cambridge. He has been a serial entrepreneur in magazine publishing, film, television, and wind farming, with varying degrees of success. Only once has he had a proper job, as managing director of the New Statesman. He now lives in Somerset with Lucie and their two children, and writes full time. Whirligig is his first novel.
