I started this novel waaaaaay back in the day, but then didn't finish. But it always lingered in my thoughts. Mostly the ideas, but also somewhat the characters.
The print, trade paperback has some gorgeous artwork that is worth the price of admission if you are able to score a copy.
I'm not sure why Richard Grant doesn't have a huge reader base. But 'Rumors of Spring' is filled with engaging characters who feel like they'd be at home in a Mervyn Peake storyline. And the fantastical ideas are something that really jibed with my reader sensibilities.
'Rumors of Spring' is very much worth the time investment.

This was a strange experience, technically well written but puzzling. I don’t regret reading it once, but I haven’t read it again.
