Review of Kes (1970) by Therese N — 25 Aug 2015
An achingly beautiful tale. The bucolic music and the landscapes wandered by the formidable protagonist child and his trained kestrel, embellish the cold and austere north of England. The child's tender look upon the bird is that of yearning, of high spirit and care free mind, far beyond the predicaments of acceptance raised in his school and in his own home.
Its gritty, unapologetic and sometimes despairing naturalism hits delicate fibres.
