A review by caroparr
The Dark Flood Rises by Margaret Drabble

4.0

In a rambling narrative Drabble introduces and eventually links people and families around Britain and in the expat community in the Canary Islands, all getting on in years and doing better or worse with life in their seventies or eighties. Keep your phone handy to find out more about the many people, books and works of art that engage the characters along the way. I do like to be back in Drabble's mind and the lack of plot or action didn't bother me a bit. Yes, the dark flood of death is rising but there are still pleasures along the way.
