## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extraordinary storytelling.
*by J***D on October 16, 2012*

The late Bruce Chatwin is best known for his travel writings, chief among them, In Patagonia. I read this novel, On the Black Hill, when it was first published, put it aside for an eventual re-read, and subsequently it went out mistakenly with a load sold to a used book store. So I bought this paperback edition and finally did what I'd promised to do--read it again for the pure pleasure. The novel covers the span of the lives of twin brothers born in 1900 in Wales near the border with England. The twins' eighty years are spent on the family farm near the River Wye, traversing their parents' deaths, the first World War, and various local battles and intrigues.Chatwin's prose places the reader alongside the twins, on the farm, in the period--reminiscent in ways of the works of John Fowles. It's not a cliffhanger or nailbiter, nor is it steamy in a seamy sort of way. Instead it is a work of gentle, deeply-felt literature that could be read many times and should be.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Enjoyable, very well imagined and written
*by C***I on July 29, 2017*

Great read-with descriptive narrative, well-drawn characters. Feels almost like a history and travelogue in addition to its compelling story. I felt as though I had visited Black Hill , and its varied and unique characters, in person.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful writing
*by A***N on January 28, 2020*

I bought this book on a whim a few months ago because it sounded interesting, and just recently read it. It is an 80 year saga enfolding a lot of sad or disturbing occurrences along with delightful ones, but I have rarely read a story that made me feel so at one with an unfamiliar landscape, the poetry of living, and the internal character of an array of ordinary people. It led me to read other Chatwin books and I am so much the better for it. Very memorable read.
