'Eversion' by Alastair Reynolds

9 June 2023

I am keen to recommend Alastair Reynolds’ excellent novel ‘Eversion’, without giving too much away about it, as I really enjoyed being surprised by its twists and turns. Although Reynolds is best known as a science fiction writer, this book starts as an historical tale of a ship sailing up the coastline of Norway in the early 19th century. But then things get increasingly complicated. The best praise I can give ‘Eversion’ is that it reminded me of three of my favourite novels - from three very different genres. But I won’t tell you which because that would spoil the surprise!
