After reading and studying Skirrid Hill, I was hesitant to read any other Owen Sheers fiction, but this novel far surpassed what I was expecting. I Saw A Man is a deeply reflective representation of guilt and grief that is rare to find - the closest thing I can think of is Christopher Isherwood’s novel A Single Man. This was incredibly written and had a pungent message, just lacked a little in overall plot.
