(In most years, The Scapegoat would have been among my best reads – but 2020 had some truly brilliant reads.)īrat Farrar is the lead character of the novel – yes, it is a name, and an almost wilfully terrible one.
It definitely came up during our discussion of Daphne du Maurier’s brilliant novel The Scapegoat, because the premise is very similar.
It was she who gave me a copy of Brat Farrar (1949) last year, as part of a lovely package to cheer during lockdown, and I suspect it was me who got my book group to read it. My old housemate, and dear friend, Kirsty has three abiding passions: dogs, lexicography, and talking about how great Josephine Tey is.
