The Englishman's Boy | Guy Vanderhaeghe
3 posts | 6 read | 4 to read
The life of Harry Vincent, a young title-writer in 1920s Hollywood, collides with the story of a young drifter known as the Englishman's boy, who in 1873 joins a group of wolf hunters in the search for a ring of horse thieves, as Harry prepares to work on a movie being made about him some fifty years later.

1000 lucky people follow the wonderful @cobwebmoth!!! Thank you for celebrating with a #surprisedgiveaway 🎉😁

I don't know what made me pick this one up. I'm generally not a fan of anything resembling a Western. But a few years ago I ended up with this on my Kobo, and I absolutely loved it. Part Western, part Old Hollywood, with a dash of unreliable narrator.

cobwebmoth Thank you! You are so sweet! I'm not super into westerns, but it sounds interesting. 6y

I haven't posted anything in a while because I have been busy with school and work. I had to read The Englishman's Boy for my class, and I really enjoyed it. I liked the connection between the two narratives, and how the author pulled the two stories together, which worked very well. The plot was gripping; however, I was left with some unanswered questions.

Warning - you must be comfortable with intense violence and sexuality for this read.

Part Western, part #Hollywood. A 1920's screenwriter sets out to learn the story of a legendary cowboy. A simple line doesn't do it justice, I loved this book.
