# 2) Yearwood by Paul Hazel

I found the style of writing in this book rather interesting. The story is interspersed from time to time with flashback comments from the protagonist from a point many years in the future. Unfortunately I did not seem to identify or sympathize with him much. The looking back technique and his main quest - to know the mysterious identity of his father and then to finally meet him - appeared to be the cause. The ending also disappointed me. It turned out to be unclear and unsatisfying even though the writing throughout had been lyrical.
