The Steep Approach to Garbadale by Iain Banks
4.0
The Steep Approach to Garbadale is my 5th Iain Banks novel and the my first of his newer books.
It is clear to me how Banks’ writing only gets more nuanced and intricate with age. In my opinion Garbadale is similar to a modern equivalent of his best work in ‘The Crow Road’.
A cast of eccentric and compelling Scottish family members, a funny, honest and a truly interesting story completes this novel.
Can’t recommend it highly enough!
Banks is quickly becoming my favourite contemporary fiction writer.
