Treacle Walker is a stunning fusion of myth and folklore and an exploration of the fluidity of time, vivid storytelling that brilliantly illuminates an introspective young mind trying to make sense of everything around him.

I understand this book has its own audience. But as I am not well versed with English folklore/slang/literature, it was an exceptionally difficult book to follow. I recognise that in order to appreciate the book deeply, I need to be equipped with experiences and feelings that Garner has grown up with, which makes it a task to interpret all the metaphorical details - which I assume are aplenty.
