The Essex Serpent 13:51 - Oct 8 with 913 viewsSuperfrans

Has anyone else read it? If not, do yourself a favour - it's great!

It's an historical novel set in and around Colchester, about an ancient creature, previously believed mythological, which is awoken fro its slumber by an earthquake in the area. It's written by Sarah Perry, who hails from Chelmsford, and won the Waterstones book of the year a couple of years back.

Given where it is set, I thought it might have come up on here, but I haven't seen anything about it.

Yes I've read and quite enjoyed it. Those rural Essex folk don't come over as being too clever though do they?

I read it a year or so ago, having heard lots of good things on the radio about it. It was OK, but I was a little disapointed if I'm honest though can see why people enjoy it.

No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
