There is a new technology called a kentuki. Physically it is little more than a furry phone with wheels but each kentuki has a personality and life of its own.

This novel explores; how human relationships can develop using new technologies, the societal impacts, benefits, and problems when a new technology overwhelms a market and ultimately how we behave to other animals and each other.

It will have you believing this technology actually exists because if it did this is exactly what would have happened. We would behave that well on occasion and that bad in general.

Recommended to Fans of Schewblins get under your skin kind of style. It is fast-paced, reads like a thriller, has a Schweblin type ending.

So good I read it twice. I read a few chapters on audio followed by the same chapters in a 1980’s Folio Society hard back edition. Sometimes I read the hard copy first and listened to the audio after.

This is my favourite so far this year. I can smell and taste Turkey. I feel I know the characters personally and I even liked the sweet ending. Kinda reminds me of Joanne Harris's writings - though much darker.

Bloody loved this. If you are looking for a literary court drama with excellent characterisation this is for you.

Loved It !
