The good reviews continue to appear in the national press for Summer At Tangents. As Roderick Easdale's novel was the first comic novel to be published by Brindle Books, we are pleased that the reviewers are enjoying it every but as much as we did when we first read the manuscript!
The latest review is by golf magazine Planet Golf Review which has reviewed Summer At Tangents in its issue 29. We will happily leave you to read the full review, but we will just say its conclusion is:
“Roderick Easdale, a golf writer of long experience, clearly knows his way around golf clubs and depicts the actions of a cast of colourful and entertaining characters with a real eye for their absurdities, frailties and mostly well-intentioned natures in this witty, warm-hearted, beautifully written, cleverly told story.”

This follows on from the other positive previews that this novel has been receiving in the press. Country Life said that “Roderick Easdale is an authority on P. G. Wodehouse and he is clearly channelling the great author in this rollicking tale of golf-club shenanigans in a very English village. Sentences are brilliantly crafted, tongue twisting in their ability to inspire befuddlement in the book’s more unfortunate characters. These hail from a cast list of which Evelyn Waugh would be proud.”
Golf Monthly said it was “a superb comic novel ... a beautifully crafted tale involving many laugh-out loud moments.”
Golfshake described it as “a brilliant comic novel but also, ultimately, a feel-good story”; and Golf Today wrote that “Roderick Easdale effortlessly delivers in this witty, feel-good novel.”
