The junction at rogers In 2012 her novel The Lighthouse the unsettling tale of a middle aged man who embarks on a contemplative German walking holiday after the break up of his marriage only to find himself alienated than ever was shortlisted for the Man Booker prize. The junction limited Alison Moore s fifth Nightjar Press offering Subtle there s a continuous sense of apprehension The outcome s strange open ended and uncomfortable There s something of a Robert Aickman Hospice feel to this story 20 Enjoyed this short story It s interesting how we attribute fears to the ordinary how simple kindness and acceptance can assume something threatening There is a puzzle here but it hinges on sadness and how men can struggle to deal with feelings A thoughtful piece the disquiet balanced by a knowing nod 20 With a narrative balanced delicately where the sinister and the tender come together there are junctions in this book than simply the location of the accident that sets events in motion Paul s life is at a junction as his relationship with his girlfriend has ended a story hinted at but which I would happily sit down and read in full Returning home his mother awaits Neville is as we learn at a junction of his own When the two men meet pushed together by chance circumstances or are they it s genuinely unclear how things will go I m not sure whether we know a lot by the end but the dance between them in the meantime intricate charged with meaning in a seemingly otherwise empty bit of the English countryside illuminates a lot about their lives Strongly recommended 20
