Happy 1 year of Muckle Flugga by @michaelpedersen.bsky.social !! My favourite book from last year, so beautifully written. Thrilled to have the indie paperback and hardback version! I created a Norman Osborn meme shortly after reading & loving the book! I’ve done two sets of themed nails! 🌊✨💙💛💖

I finished Muckle Flugga this morning - could have read it more quickly but didn't want it to end! Very nearly started again the minute I'd finished. What a wonderful book. Gorgeous writing. Going to miss it. Still pondering the ending - not in a critical way, just thinking about it all! #BookSky

Doppelpunkt | Artikel: Muckle Flugga

Michael Pedersens Romandebüt über eine einsame Shetlandinsel, einen Leuchtturm und eine berührende Vater-Sohn-Geschichte.

doppelpunkt.de

Die Sätze mancher Romane sind so durchdrungen von Poesie, dass man von ihnen regelrecht wortbesoffen werden kann. Romane, die man eigentlich hören muss, anstatt sie zu lesen, um ganz in ihren unablässigen Sog einzutauchen wie in eine heranrollende Flut.
