"Its publishers, Macmillan, have likened the significance of its publication to that of Iain Banks's The Wasp Factory, and well before its publication in August numbered bound proofs were changing hands on eBay for large sums of money".
"Bravely for a first novel, Vellum abandons linearity in favour of fragmented narratives written in multiple perspectives and moving freely between different times, places and even realities."
The review above tells you what this book is meant to be, and the reviewer is mad with enthusiasm for it.
Maybe I'm not bright enough, but after chapter two I literally "lost the plot". I kept going for another 150 pages before I realised I had no idea whatsoever about what was going on.
