Details: (c) Ian McDonald 1998; Pub Millennium 1999; ISBN 1-85798-876-0
Verdict: Kirinya is breathtakingly impressive.
Reasons for reading it: McDonald is one of the most skillful writers I'm aware of; I don't absolutely love all his stuff, but it's all very well written, and Terminal Café and River of Gods are two of my favourite books ever.
How it came into my hands: I was poking about in the frighteningly good Oxfam in Saffron Walden, and was very pleasantly surprised to come upon a McDonald I hadn't heard of.
( detailed review )
I can't believe I never heard of this book before!
