"He looked out towards the headland, counting past the six smaller waves that would follow, waiting for the seventh. And when he saw it begin to rise, the fear in him prevented him from moving. Thomas Broderick stood on the top of Sgeir Ghlas and waited for the wall of water to come, and it came slowly, curling like the fingers of a claw, rising up until he could not see beyond it. His last thought before the wave snatched him from the island was that he had seen perfection."Iain Broderick is growing up in Inverdaig, a remote village on the West Coast of Scotland. His father is long dead, and a man he calls Uncle lives with his mother, but the history of his family is never discussed. The mysterious old Norseman who lives in a cottage at the end of the village begins to tell Iain amazing stories, and as their relationship grows, Iain comes to find out more of the old Norseman's history too. This takes Iain on a journey of discovery across Europe, tracing the origins of the fantastic tales, where he finds new truths that change the old man's life.

a novel you can't put down

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 29 luglio 2012

Acquisto verificato

I found that Tales of Johan by David Harris Wilson is one of those novels you can't put down. You are drawn into Iain's life and you become fascinated by Inverdaig, its people, history and customs. The stories that Johan tells have the authentic voice of true folk tales and you feel the cultural links between Scandinavia, Brittany and Scotland as you listen to them; and that is what is good about this writing: you really feel you are in the room as Johan speaks. There is a large cast of characters and whether their part in the story is large or small each one is rounded and interesting. There is some very good descriptive writing of various aspects of nature notably the sea which is poetic and creates evocative images as you read; however this doesn't slow the pace of the novel which is a page-turner right through to the end.

A Beautiful Tale

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 28 novembre 2012

Difficult to write a review without repeating all the praise already said from the other reviewers.
I know the West coast of Scotland well having spent a lot of time in Wester Ross, which is just north of where Tales of Johan is set. All I can say is the descriptions and narrative totally capture the magic of that part of the world.
The tale draws you in whether you are in Johan's past or with Iain in the present. Was great to read a novel where I had no idea where it was heading next. Have read two of the author's other books and have found them to be very individual novels. Tales of Johan was a truly beautiful read.

Disappointing

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 16 febbraio 2015

Acquisto verificato

I didn't read this myself - it was bought for a family member. His verdict was that it was a strange book, with too many flashbacks in time, not all relevant to the tale. The ending was rather abrupt.

The overall impression was that the flashbacks were used to pad the book out and make it longer, without adding anything worthwhile to the story, and then the whole thing ran out of steam at the end.

Gripping saga

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 4 maggio 2014

Drawing on the tradition of Celtic folk tales, this book describes the history of Inverdaig and it's inhabitants.
Centered on the desire for Iain Broderick to piece together fragmented tales of his own past, related to him by Johan, the reader is led through this history twisting and turning as the story tells itself.
This is real fireside storytelling that will have you enthralled from the start.

A great book. Fantastic descriptive tale of human growth woven via adventure, history & mystery.
It was difficult to put down, and I was keen to keep reading to reveal the next piece of the mysterious puzzle that is Johan!
