The Rings of Saturn by W.G. SebaldMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Really unlike anything else I've read; a dreamlike, melancholy travelogue/essay/meditation on loss, memory and history. I know the areas of Norfolk and Suffolk he visits reasonably well, growing up in the area, and he captures the coastline well - Dunwich and its unique eeriness in particular. A book I can see myself returning to in the future.
